MHJ // What's it been like playing for Coach
Motzko?
Anderson // It's been awesome. I really enjoy play-
ing for him. He's a great guy and great coach. We've
had a fun time together.
MHJ // You've played in a few different inter-
national events in your career so far. What
are some of the unique challenges that come
with playing in an international tournament?
Anderson // You play against other countries and
oftentimes they don't speak English. That's one of
things you have to battle with. Each country has
a different style. You learn how to counter those
different styles.

USA beat
Canada 4-3
in a shootout
in front of
45,000 fans at
New Era Field.
"The atmosphere was
incredible and you could feel
the energy from the crowd
right from the start.
When we
came out for the game and the crowd
just erupted when they said, 'Here
comes Team USA!' and they started the
U-S-A chant and the drumline is going
and the fireworks, you knew it was
going to be a fun night. Really glad we
could send these fans home happy."
