Stephanie Anderson (born November 27, 1992) is an American ice hockey player, currently playing for the Minnesota Whitecaps in the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF).[1] She previously competed for the Bemidji State Beavers women's ice hockey program and was a member of the United States women's national ice hockey team that won the gold medal at the 2015 IIHF Women's World Championship.[2][3]

Playing career[edit]

High school[edit]

Anderson competed at the high school level with the North St. Paul High School team, becoming a two-time letterwinner. In addition, she would skate for the Minnesota Thoroughbreds at the club level, eventually being appointed team captain.

NCAA hockey[edit]

Joining the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the autumn of 2011, Anderson would log her first career goal, a game-winning tally against Minnesota State on October 21, 2011. She would finish her freshman season as a member of the Gophers NCAA Frozen Four title-winning team. Opting to transfer to Bemidji State in 2012, she sat out the 2012–13 due to transfer rules within the WCHA conference. As a redshirt sophomore in 2013–14, she contributed five goals and three assists in 33 games played.

On March 7, 2015, Anderson contributed to a historic win as the Beavers defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers by a 1–0 tally in the semifinals of the WCHA Final Face-Off. She logged the game-winning goal at the 11:46 mark of the third period.[4] Beavers goaltender Brittni Mowat made 37 saves, registering her seventh shutout of the season, a new program record. In addition, it marked the first time that the Beavers advanced to the championship game of the WCHA Final Face-Off.

CWHL[edit]

In 2017, Anderson signed her first professional contract with Kunlun Red Star of the CWHL. She would put up 25 points in 53 games across two seasons, before the league folded.

NWHL[edit]

Anderson signed with the NWHL Minnesota Whitecaps for its 2019–2020 season.[5] She put up 10 points in 22 games in the 2019–20 season.

International[edit]

In 2009, she made her debut for USA Hockey, competing in a three-game exhibition series between the Canadian and US Under-18 rosters. In 2015, she was a member of the gold medal-winning team at the IIHF World Championships
