Mercyhurst University Lakers‘ graduate goaltender Carter McPhail(35) plays a college best (by a mile) 22 games with maybe not the best record on a team that struggled to win games, but had a respectable 3.44 GAA and .910 SV%.
The 5’11” 179 lbs. net minder transferred from 2 years and little work at Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks.
After some stellar NAHL work, he committed to his 1st school Ferris State University Bulldogs.
From Fenton, MI, the 27-year old signs a 1st pro deal with Athens Rock Lobsters, where in 19 FPHL games played, he’s credited with an 8-2 record with a 2.86 GAA and .926 SV%, including 2 shutouts for a strong rookie season, 2025/2026 start.
For his strong play, he catches the eye of and earns a call up with Greenville Swamp Rabbits that really could mark the start of a game-changer for the 1st year net minder.
