Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
By the time the Devils got Carpenter, he was established as a checking line center and served the Devils well when he played
for them. This coming after entering training camp in 1993 on a tryout basis.

However, back in the day, he was a scoring machine, best known for his 53 goal season with the Caps in 84-85. He joined the
Caps immediately after he was drafted... right out of high school. That was unheard of at the time.

He stayed with the Devils after retirement, being part of the River Rats' coaching staff for a few years before joining the Devils
coaching staff for the 02-03 Cup run.

Currently, he is the Director of Program Development for the EJHL's Valley Jr. Warriors
