Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Carpentier was selected by the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the third round of the 2004 Midget Draft, and made the team out of camp in his rookie season. He saw much of his ice-time on the fourth line, where he appeared in 49 games. He showed flashes of offensive talent, and these skills were put to the test in his sophomore season, where he was entrusted a spot on the top two lines. Carpentier did not disappoint, appearing in every game, and posting 70 points (31 of which were goals), good enough for third on the team in both categories.
2007-08: This marked Carpentier’s second season with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (QMJHL). He played in 69 games with the club, netting 27 goals and 38 assists for a total of 65 points. He increased his PIM over last season, jumping to 114. He added another 14 goals and eight assists in 17 playoff games with the Huskies.
Talent Analysis
Carpentier is a hard worker who has great consistency. A tenacious forechecker who gives his all every shift, Carpentier has good drive to the net and a strong finish. He also does not mind to throw his good size around. His foot speed is not very good, so he will have to work on his skating in a big way if he is to succeed at the next level.
Future
Carpentier’s desire, work ethic and strong skill set will be appealing come draft day, but his skating will likely be enough to dissuade many come draft day, given the emphasis on quickness in the post-lockout era.
