I was drafted by the Pringe George Firebirds who were a tire fire of an organization at that point having missed the post-season and required a savior. This team straight up lacked any actual centers and had some wingers that looked solid in the SMJHL but likely would not make strides towards the SHL. The team traded for skilled, but limited center in Grayson who was eligible for only one more season after this. The Firebirds staff asks CC2 to make a switch to center for the season, which he did. This was definitely a rough experience since CC2 could not play with the best player on the ice since he shared a position with them and had to play with weaker wingers, to the point where PGF were picking random players that had been tossed aside to try on Carter's wings. PGF missed the play offs and CC2 was fuming.

The team makes a move to Anchorage and draft a group of talented players, but they were all pretty young. It became pretty clear that CC2 was just better than everyone on the roster and put in more work than the other veterans on the squad. The Armada almost missed the play offs again until CC2 had enough of this clown fiesta, held a private training camp over the span of a few weeks and spent extra hours on the ice until he was just steamrolling opposing lines with physicality and his goal scoring touch. There was no one better than CC2 during the final stretch and he carried a young Armada team to a post-season appearance. So the Anchorage squad has some struggles against Kelowna in the next round and the coach decides to drop CC2 down the line up, despite protesting that he wanted to go head to head with the best players on their team. The coach demoted him after game one and refused to put CC2 back despite the team still getting hammered. Carter was pissed and despite winning the best two way player of the year award and being nominated for MVP, he refuses to report to Anchorage in the off-season.
