After being drafted, Fast enrolled at Michigan State University, where he spent four seasons playing for the Michigan State Spartans. Near the end of the 2002-03 season, Fast signed a professional contract with the Hurricanes and joined their American Hockey League affiliate, the Lowell Lock Monsters

Fast played seven games with the Lock Monsters to finish off the 2002-03 season, and started with that team full-time for the 2003-04 season. He was called up and played one game with the parent Hurricanes, becoming one of only three players (Roland Huard and Dean Morton are the others) to score a goal in his only NHL game. The 2004-05 lockout season was mostly spent with the Lock Monsters, but Fast was demoted to the ECHL and spent the end of the season (and the playoffs) with the Florida Everblades.
