four. I played boys hockey until I was eight but then the boys were getting a bit too rough, so my parents decided to put me in girls’ hockey in Stonewall. From that time, I just played female hockey from Atom to Midget. My high school in Warren didn’ t have a girls’ team so I played Bantam and Midget. In Grade 12, I signed up to play boys hockey, but they didn’ t have enough players and the team got cancelled.“ In Midget, we were classified as Double A, but we really played in the A league. I was the oldest player on my team, with one other girl, Jordyn McInnes, who is on the Western Predators now, and then one girl, who was one year younger than me, Kyra Hoffman, who now plays for the Manitoba Blizzard. We played together through our Midget careers all in Stonewall. Me and Kyra grew up together and then we started playing with Jordyn. Her dad was our coach and we kind of stuck together for about five years. Then we took a year off and we decided to try out for this league. We came to the MWJHL tryouts and sadly, we were all separated to different teams. But it’ s still fun to play against each other.“ This league was a little more competitive for me. The girls are faster and more skilled than they were in Midget. I didn’ t have a problem scoring in this league. It wasn’ t easy, it definitely was a challenge. The goalies were a lot better and the players are always on you. But I was pleased with the year I had.” While Anderson has at least three my greatest memory in hockey was back in Grade 12 when I was playing for the
St. Vital Vics and also playing for the Dakota Lancers
