Leif Anderson

Class of 2027 Five-Star Announcement

Anderson’s versatility really is his calling card. When defending up top, he’s a little more adventurous with his checks. He is excellent at running the field and loves to push the pace. He is terrific with the ball in his stick and is more than happy to shoot if given the opportunity. Sometimes, he can get a little over aggressive in coverage at close defense, but that’s a very common thing for young defenders to have to work on. He’s got the mean attitude and snarl that you want out of an elite defenseman. Anderson’s got a nose for the ball and it seems to find him pretty frequently. It feels like there’s a ton of untapped potential here, and Anderson’s runway to hitting his top-end talent seems vast.
