At the beginning of the 2012/13 season he was hired full-time by the Carolina Hurricanes as a kit manager . Before the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on December 31, 2016, the regular backup goalkeeper Eddie Läck reported with health problems, but the Hurricanes were unable to find a goalkeeper from the Charlotte Checkers or Florida Everblades farm teams in the short time to be ordered. In current practice, they provided Alves, who had a certain experience as a goalkeeper, as he regularly trained with the team, with a trial contract so that he could officially take part in the game as a substitute goalkeeper for the regular Cam Ward . When the encounter was interrupted 7.6 seconds from the end when the score was 3-1 for Tampa, Carolina's coach Bill Peters Alves switched on for Ward and helped him make his NHL debut at the age of 37.
