Carter John Hart (born August 13, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who is an unrestricted free agent. He previously played for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Born and raised in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Hart began training with a sport psychologist from the age of ten, and played minor hockey in the Alberta Minor Midget AAA Hockey League. The Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League (WHL) selected Hart in the eighth round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. He made his debut with the Silvertips in 2014 at the age of 16, and was the team's starting goaltender by the end of the season. In his time with the Silvertips, Hart was a three-time winner of the Del Wilson Trophy, a two-time CHL Goaltender of the Year, and a recipient of the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy.
The Flyers drafted Hart in the second round of the 2016 NHL entry draft; he was the highest-drafted goaltender that year. On December 18, 2018, Hart became the youngest goaltender in Flyers history to win his NHL debut, and in 2020, he became the youngest Flyers goaltender to win a postseason game. Internationally, Hart has represented Canada at several international tournaments, including the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, IIHF World U20 Championship, and Ice Hockey World Championships. Since early 2024, Hart has been on an indefinite leave of absence from hockey due to his alleged involvement in the 2018 Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal; upon reaching restricted free agency that offseason, the Flyers did not match his minimum qualifying salary offer and thereby released him.
