Milwaukee, WI—The Admirals announced today that the team has signed forward Robert Carpenter to a one-year AHL Contract for the 2021-22 season.

Carpenter joins the Admirals from the Bridgeport SoundTigers where he has spent the past two seasons.

In 49 career pro games, all with the SoundTigers, he has accumulated 20 points (g-11a) and 20 PIMS in 49 contests.

The North Reading, MA native played four seasons of college hockey at Boston University where he topped the century mark in career points with 102 (56g-46a) while skating in 144 games. During his junior season he helped the Terriers to the Hockey East Championship and was named to the Second All-Star Team after finishing fourth on the team in goals (20).  During his senior season he served as BU’s Captain and posted 10 goals and nine assists in 27 games.

Carpenter’s dad, Bobby, played in almost 1,200 NHL games, notching a combined 728 points for five different teams from 1981-1999.
