A product of the USHL's Sioux Falls Stampede, LaRose later led the OHL Plymouth Whalers in scoring in 2002–03 with 117 points in 67 games.

LaRose started the 2003–04 season with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL, and was shuttling back and forth between there and the Lowell Lock Monsters for most of the second half of the year.[ citation needed ]

LaRose was signed by the Carolina Hurricanes as a free agent in 2003. [3] LaRose is the only hockey player to play for all the Karmanos’ teams, as he started out with the Plymouth Whalers, before moving on to the Florida Everblades, working his way to the Carolina Hurricanes.

On July 2, 2009, the Hurricanes re-signed LaRose to a further two-year contract worth $3.4 million ($1.5 million in 2009-10 and $1.9 million in 2010-11). [6]

LaRose rejoined the Carolina Hurricanes organization by signing a one-year deal with the team's AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, on July 29, 2014.
