Playing career

On December 31, 2014, Chartier was signed by the San Jose Sharks to a three-year entry-level contract.[1] During the 2014–15 WHL season while playing with the Kelowna Rockets, Chartier scored 48 goals and 34 assists, and was named to the WHL Western Conference First All-Star Team. He was further honoured when he was named the 2014–15 CHL Sportsman of the Year.[2] He scored his first NHL goal on October 29, 2018.[3]

Chartier as a free agent from the Sharks sat out the entirety of the 2019–20 season, due to lingering post-concussion symptoms.[4] On October 14, 2020, Chartier returned to the professional circuit by signing to a one-year AHL contract with the Toronto Marlies.[5] In the pandemic shortened 2020–21 season, Chartier made 28 appearances with the Marlies and finished with 2 goals and 8 points.

Approaching the 2021–22 season, Chartier attended the Belleville Senators training camp and made the opening night roster on a professional try-out basis.[6] In elevating his play, Chartier solidified his role within Belleville and after posting 10 goals and 23 points through 30 games was belatedly signed to a AHL contract on March 15, 2022.[7]

After a successful debut season with Belleville, Chartier would continue with the club after signing a one-year, two-way contract with NHL affiliate, the Ottawa Senators for the 2022–23 season, on July 15, 2022.[8]
