After the U.S. National Team Development Program accepted Carter Meyer's (Winchester, Mass.) release on Tuesday, the QMJHL's Quebec Remparts announced that Meyer will be playing for them this season.
The Remparts drafted Meyer in the first round (17th overall) of the 2025 QMJHL Draft, which raised eyebrows. Meyer was already headed for the U.S. NTDP, which is typically a two-year commitment.
Meyer requested his release from the NTDP on May 29 after a big first year. With the U17 team, he put up 45 points in 41 games before moving up to the U18 team and tallying 25 points in 29 games.
"It's a tremendous honor to have the opportunity to play for the Quebec Remparts," Meyer said. "The tradition of this organization, its rich history, this extraordinary city and the passion of its fans make the Remparts a natural choice for me."
The 6-foot, 176-pound center is already one of the top prospects eligible for the 2027 NHL Draft and is arguably the top '09 in the United States. If he has a big season in the QMJHL, which should be attainable, he will likely be a candidate to be selected in the top five.
"My ultimate goal is to play in the National Hockey League, and I know that the Quebec Remparts represent the ideal place to continue my development both as a player and a person," Meyer said.
Committed to Boston University, Meyer came up with the Boston Junior Eagles and played his prep hockey for his father, Freddy, at Rivers. Meyer had 39 points in 30 games as an eighth grader in 2023-24 before posting 70 in 28 as a freshman.
Meyer's older brother Freddy, who is also committed to BU, played for Quebec last season and will do so again this winter.
