Playing career

On 28 August 2009, Charpentier joined the Norwegian GET-ligaen team Lørenskog on a 2-week try-out.[1] He made a good impression and was offered a contract. Despite ending the 2009–10-season as the third best scoring leader, behind Tomi Pöllänen and Jonas Solberg Andersen, he was not offered a new contract. General Manager, Kjell Erik Oseberg, stated that his defensive qualities were not the best (64 points and only a +9 rating).[2]

On 17 April 2010, he was hired by the Swiss National League B team La Chaux-de-Fonds, with an option.[3]
