Carter Mazur's story
Growing up near Jackson, Michigan, Carter Mazur developed as a scorer in the USHL with the Tri-City Storm before moving on to college hockey. His junior experience set the tone for a game built around finding shooting lanes and finishing chances.
Selected 70th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, he opted for the University of Denver to continue his progression. As a freshman in 2021–22 he produced 14 goals and 21 assists in 41 games, earning NCHC Rookie of the Year and a spot on the All-NCHC Rookie Team. Ahead of his sophomore season he was named an alternate captain, and in 2022–23 he scored 22 goals and added 15 assists in 40 games, including his first career hat-trick on October 28, 2022 versus Miami.
Mazur left Denver after two collegiate seasons having helped the program to the 2022 NCAA championship and compiling 75 points across 81 games. On March 28, 2023 he signed a three-year entry-level contract with Detroit and immediately joined the Grand Rapids Griffins on an amateur tryout to begin his pro career in the AHL.
He started the 2024–25 campaign with the Griffins, recording eight goals and seven assists in 20 games before an upper-body injury sidelined him from October 19, 2024 to January 18, 2025. Detroit recalled him on March 6, 2025; he made his NHL debut that night against the Utah Hockey Club, took two shifts on the fourth line, but left the game early due to an upper-body injury.
At the junior international level Mazur represented the United States at the 2022 World Junior Championship, where he led his team in scoring with five goals and two assists in five games — his five goals tied for second overall in the tournament. His profile remains that of a natural finisher who finds his way to the high-danger areas and contributes on special teams.
