GWINNETT, Georgia – The Cincinnati Cyclones, proud affiliate of the NHL’s Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators, announced today that they have signed forward Matt Carter.
Carter, a Mississauga, Ontario native, joins Cincinnati on its season-long road trip after completing a four-year career at the University of Prince Edward Island.
