Carter George (born May 20, 2006) is a Canadian ice hockey goaltender for the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). He was drafted 57th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2024 NHL entry draft.




Playing career


George played youth hockey for the Thunder Bay Kings of the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) for the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons. He was selected in the third round, 53rd overall, by the Owen Sound Attack in the 2022 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection. He played for the St. Marys Lincolns of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League (GOJHL) for the 2022–23 season before joining the Attack midway through the year.
In his first full season, George served as Owen Sound's starting goaltender. He was named OHL Midwest Division academic player of the month for December 2023, and was selected as one of 40 draft eligible prospects to play in the 2024 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. George finished the regular season with a 23–21–9 record and .907 save percentage. The league dubbed him "the OHL's busiest netminder," having stopped a league-high 1,744 shots. Owen Sound qualified for the playoffs, but were swept in four games by the Saginaw Spirit in the first round. The city's Sun Times noted George among the highlights of the year for the team, calling him "worth the price of admission alone." He was named to both the OHL's First All-Rookie Team and its Third All-Star Team, and subsequently to the CHL All-Rookie Team as well. In recognition of his achievements in school, George received the Bobby Smith Trophy as the OHL's scholastic player of the year and the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award as its top academic high school student; he was the first player since Adam Pelech in 2012 to earn both honours for the same season.
George was taken 57th overall in the second round of the 2024 NHL entry draft by the Los Angeles Kings. He was the third goaltender taken in the draft. On July 25, 2024, George signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Kings.




International play



In the summer of 2023, George made his international debut for Canada with the national under-18 team at the 2023 Hlinka Gretzky Cup. Appearing in all of the team's five games, he recorded a .891 save percentage, and made 31 saves in a 3–2 overtime victory against the Czech Republic in the gold medal game. George was invited to rejoin Team Canada for the 2024 IIHF World U18 Championships the following summer. Serving as the team's starting goaltender, he played a pivotal role in the team's deep run to the event final. He was named Canada's best player in three of its seven games, including the gold medal game. He was praised as "the difference" for the team in both the semi-final against Sweden and against the United States in the final, where Canada won the gold medal. In recognition of his play, George was given the Best Goaltender award by the IIHF directorate, and named to the tournament's Media All-Star Team.
