Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2004-05: Camper had a strong debut season for the Barons. In 54 games Camper finished with the fifth most points on the team with 37 points (14 goals, 23 assists). His six power play goals were the second most on the team, and his one shorthanded goal was third most on the team.
2005-06: With high expectations after a strong rookie season, Camper did not disappoint. The team captain led the Barons to a division title by leading the team in goals, assists, points, and power play goals. His 82 points (31 goals, 51 assists) were the second most in the NAHL. He was named to the NAHL All-First Team, the only Barons member to make an All-NAHL team. Camper also played tremendous playoffs. He led the Barons and the NAHL in points with 21 and assists with 15. His six goals were second most on Cleveland. Camper also played internationally for the US National U-17 Team at the Four Nations Cup. He was one of Team USA’s stars at the Cup by notching 10 points (four goals, six assists) in four games. His 10 points rank him as the 5th highest scorer in Team USA U-17 international play despite only playing in four games in contrast to the team leader who played in 14 games.
Talent Analysis
Carter Camper has a small 5-10 175 LBS frame, but plays a strong finesse and speed based game. He is regarded as a hard worker and a good leader.
Although he is a scoring threat whenever he is on the ice he is strictly a perimeter player. He doesn't go into the corners and sometimes gets lazy on the back check. He does see the ice well and knows where his teammates are all the time. He has an excellent stride and has speed and agility, creates scoring opportunities for his teammates, and plays well away from the puck. He has a good shot, excellent hands and gives and receives the puck well. Size will be a factor for Carter. He does get knocked off of the puck easily but does know his limitations and doesn't try to do to much. He needs to work on his strength. He is a natural scorer in this league (NAHL) and is a playmaker. He is a very talented player and might be a possible late draft pick.
Future
Carter will continue to star at the junior A level playing for the Lincoln Stars in 2006-07. He has a commitment to play at Miami-Ohio University in 2007-08. Because of size his chances to play in the NHL are limited unless he adds more finesse to his game or adds mass to his small frame.
