Whilst George was in net, he helped lead Team Canada to a 6-0-0 record and gold medal, winning him recognition as a Top Three Player on the Team as well as named the Best Goaltender of the Tournament.
Tara George, Carter’s mom, spoke on the recent signing saying how proud she was of Carter and all the hard work he has done to get to this point.
“There’s no better feeling than watching your child as they take these steps to making their dreams come true. We are grateful to all of the people who have supported him on this journey and thankful he is able to developp in an organization as great as the Attack. We want to thank the LA Kings for welcoming Carter into their organization.”
