Anderson Quotes

"When I first started playing hockey, I hated it. I hated getting up at six o'clock in the morning to go to the rink," Anderson said. "I skated with my ankles turned in and everybody else skated the other way. The first goal I ever scored was in my own net."²

"The bond between the guys was very special. There was a closeness between us, the likes I have not seen on any other team I've played for. I can't say enough about the closeness between the guys. There wasn't anything we wouldn't have done for each other."—Anderson, about the Edmonton Oilers⁶
