Playing career

Junior

As a 14-year old with the Edge School Mountaineers Bantam AAA team, Anderson-Dolan scored 103 points in 50 games.[2]

Anderson-Dolan was drafted 14th in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft to the Spokane Chiefs.[3] He was expected to be one of the top 5 selections but slipped because some teams did not want to draft him because of his family situation.[3] He put up 76 points in 72 regular season games in his sophomore 2016–17 season.[4] He ended the season as the 21st ranked North American skater by NHL Central Scouting.[5]

Professional

Anderson-Dolan was drafted 41st overall in the 2nd round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings.[6][7] He signed a three-year entry level contract with the Kings on September 25, 2017.[8]

After completing the 2017–18 season with the Chiefs, Anderson-Dolan was loaned to the Kings American Hockey League affiliate, the Ontario Reign, on April 6, 2018.[9]

After attending the Kings training camp, Anderson-Dolan was named to the Kings opening night roster.[10] Sitting as a healthy scratch for the Kings first game on October 5,[11] he made his NHL debut on October 7 against the Detroit Red Wings. By making his debut, Anderson-Dolan became the youngest Kings player since Craig Redmond in 1984[12] and 10th youngest in franchise history.[13] Two games later on October 11, he recorded his first career NHL point, an assist on Michael Amadio's goal, in a 3–0 win over the Montreal Canadiens.[14] He was reassigned to the Spokane Chiefs on October 22, after playing in five NHL games and earning one point,[15] and in the same day was added to Team WHL to compete at the 2018 CHL Canada/Russia Series.[16] The following day, Anderson-Dolan was named co-captain of the Chiefs alongside Ty Smith.[17] On March 16, 2019 Anderson-Dolan was awarded the Chiefs' Players' Player award for the 2018–19 season.[18]

International play

On April 12, 2017, Anderson-Dolan was selected as team captain to represent Canada at the 2017 IIHF World U18 Championships.[19][20] Team Canada was eliminated in the quarter-finals against Sweden.[21]

On December 25, 2018, Anderson-Dolan was named an alternate captain for Team Canada, along with Evan Bouchard and Ian Mitchell, for the 2019 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.[22]

Personal life

Prior to his draft year, Anderson-Dolan's personal life drew significant interest from hockey personnel. Anderson-Dolan and his older brother, Dorian were raised by two mothers, Fran and Nancy. As a result of his upbringing, Anderson-Dolan has been active in promoting support for the LGBTQ community and in efforts to end homophobia.[23][3]
