During his NHL career, he won the 2012 Stanley Cup, he has appeared in one [[NHL All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] in 2009, and led the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] – for whom he played six seasons – in scoring during the 2008-09 season; his 46 goals during that season were good for second overall in the NHL. Carter also played 39 games with the [[Columbus Blue Jackets]] during the [[2011-12 NHL season]] before being traded to Los Angeles. Carter played [[junior ice hockey|junior]] in the [[Ontario Hockey League]] (OHL) for four seasons, earning OHL First Team All-Star, [[William Hanley Trophy]] and [[CHL Sportsman of the Year]] honours in his final year. Joining the Flyers' [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[Philadelphia Phantoms]], immediately after his junior career, he helped the team win the [[Calder Cup]] in 2005. Internationally, Carter has won gold medals with [[Hockey Canada|Team Canada]] at the under-18 and under-20 levels. During his under-20 career, he tied as Canada's all-time leading scorer at the World Juniors and was named to back-to-back Tournament All-Star Teams. He has also represented Canada at the [[2006 IIHF World Championship]]. ==Playing career== ===Early career=== Carter played [[minor ice hockey|minor hockey]] in [[London, Ontario]] with the London Jr. Knights rep program. He played bantam hockey with the AAA Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs of the [[Ontario Minor Hockey Association]] (OMHA) before spending a season with the [[Strathroy Rockets]], a [[junior ice hockey|Junior B]] team. Carter was selected in the 1st round (3rd overall) of the 2001 [[Ontario Hockey League]] (OHL) Priority Selection by the [[Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds]]. He began his OHL career in [[2001–02 OHL season|2001–02]], recording 35 points over 63 games as a rookie. The following season, he improved to 71 points. In the off-season, the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] selected him 11th overall in the [[2003 NHL Entry Draft]]. Returning to the Greyhounds following his draft, he earned Second Team OHL All-Star honours in [[2003–04 OHL season|2003–04]] with a 66-point campaign. Following his third OHL season, he was assigned by the Flyers to their [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[Philadelphia Phantoms]] for their 2005 [[Calder Cup]] playoff season. He recorded 5 points over 12 games in his initial stint at the professional level. Back in the OHL for his final junior season in [[2004–05 OHL season|2004–05]], he recorded a major junior career-high 74 points (34 goals and 40 assists) in 55 games. He was a First Team OHL All-Star that season and won the [[William Hanley Trophy|OHL]] and [[CHL Sportsman of the Year]] Awards. After the Greyhounds were eliminated from the 2005 OHL playoffs, Carter joined the Phantoms once more and recorded 23 points (12 goals, 11 assists) in 21 playoff games, helping the team win the Calder Cup. [[File:Jeff Carter.jpg|thumb|left|Carter playing for the Philadelphia Flyers during the {{NHL Year|2006}} season.]] ===Philadelphia Flyers=== The next season, in [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06]], Carter made the Flyers out of training camp. He was joined by fellow rookies [[Mike Richards]] and [[R. J. Umberger]], who were both also instrumental in the Phantoms' Calder Cup championship of the previous season. He scored his first career NHL goal on October 27, 2005, against [[Roberto Luongo]] of the [[Florida Panthers]]. He finished the campaign first in team-scoring among rookies with 23 goals and 42 points. After 37- and 53-point efforts, in his second and third NHL seasons, Carter and the Flyers agreed to a 3-year, $15-million contract extension, on June 27, 2008, days before he was set to become a [[restricted free agent]]. He responded with a breakout campaign in [[2008–09 NHL season|2008–09]], leading the team in scoring with 46 goals and 84 points. During the season, he was named to his first [[NHL All-Star Game]], representing the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]]. Despite a strong regular season, Carter was held to just 1 goal in 6 playoff games as the Flyers were eliminated by the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] in six games. His series was also marred when he failed to score with an open net in front of him in Game 2 of the series, where Penguins goalie [[Marc-André Fleury|Marc-Andre Fleury]] made a toe save to block the shot that would have given the Flyers a 3-1 lead late in the third period. Carter was later called off for a hooking penalty and the Penguins scored to tie the game and eventually win in overtime. It was later revealed that Carter had played the final four games of the series with a [[separated shoulder]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Flyers' Carter played with separated shoulder|url=http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20090501_Flyers__Carter_played_with_separated_shoulder.html|accessdate=2009-05-06|date=2009-05-01|publisher=''[[Philadelphia Inquirer]]''}} {{Dead link|date=November 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> On November 13, 2010, Carter signed an 11-year, $58 Million contract extension with the Flyers through to the 2021–2022 season.

He scored 6 points in 7 games, helping Canada to their first gold medal at the tournament. The following year, Carter moved on to the [[Canada national junior men's ice hockey team|Canadian national under-20 team]], playing in back-to-back [[World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|World Junior Championships]]. Winning silver in [[2004 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|2004]] and gold in [[2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|2005]], he was named to the tournament's All-Star Team in both instances. His combined 12 goals over both years tied him with [[Eric Lindros]] (later also tied by [[John Tavares (ice hockey)|John Tavares]]) for Canada's all-time record at the World Juniors. Lindros had played in three tournaments between 1990 and 1992 (one more than both Carter and Tavares). Carter had been joined on the World Junior squads by two future Flyers teammates, [[Mike Richards]] and [[Braydon Coburn]]. Following his rookie NHL season, Carter played for the [[Canada national men's ice hockey team|Canadian men's team]] at the [[2006 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships|2006 World Championships]]. He recorded six points in nine games as Canada failed to qualify for a medal.
