ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A former Canadian League Football player is facing simple battery charges after confronting an 8-year-old at a hockey scrimmage in Alpharetta.Grant Carter, 36, is accused of shaking his son’s 8-year-old teammate during a scrimmage game at “The Cooler” in Alpharetta in November. In the complaint, the child’s parents allege Carter grabbed their son by his face mask, shook him and warned him never to touch his son again. The boy was not hurt. Carter’s attorney told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Carter was breaking up a fight between two boys. Caroline Carter told the AJC the boy was overly aggressive on the ice and that her husband was acting as any concerned parent would. She described her husband as a “gentle giant.” She also said they apologized to the boy’s family. But, the family of the boy said they never received an apology from Carter. In addition to pressing charges they’ve also filed a restraining order requiring Carter to stay away from their son. Carter has been temporarily banned from The Cooler, where the boys’ team -- the Fire Mites -- practice and play some of their games. The restraining order is under appeal by his attorney. The boys remain teammates.
