Paul Charles Carey (born September 24, 1988 in Weymouth, Massachusetts) is an American ice hockey center currently playing for the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League.
He was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the 5th Round, 135th overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. Carey played in the United States Hockey League with the Indiana Ice in the 2007–08 season and was a Rookie of the year finalist, before committing to play for the Boston College Eagles of the Hockey East in his freshman year in the 2008–09 season.
After capturing his first national title with the Eagles in his sophomore year, Carey repeated the feat in his senior year in 2012, scoring the championship winning goal against Ferris State University and earning selection to the Frozen Four All-Tournament team. Carey was subsequently signed by the Avalanche to a two-year entry level contract on April 11, 2012. He was immediately assigned on an amateur try-out to begin his professional career and finish the duration of the season with AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters. He made his professional debut in a 5–3 victory over the Hamilton Bulldogs on April 13, 2012.
In his first full professional season in 2012–13, Carey was an offensive contributor for the Monsters. After scoring his first professional goal and point against the Oklahoma City Barons, on October 13, 2012, Carey played in 72 games to finish fourth amongst Lake Erie players with 19 goals and 41 points. During the season, Carey accounted for the teams longest individual point scoring streak at 8 games.
