Darcy Anderson Darcy Anderson ( born July 23 , 1974 in North Bay , Ontario ) is a Canadian professional inline hockey player , currently playing for the South Carolina Pirates in the PIHA . Anderson has played most of his career in ice hockey however . Career . His career began when playing for Iowa State University at ACHA level . Anderson played well and received the league ' s MVP award for his play . Anderson would quickly move on to play professional hockey , with the ill - fated Saginaw Wheels franchise , then playing in the CoHL , now re - named the International Hockey League . Anderson played ten games for the Wheels , before moving across the Atlantic to ice for the Basingstoke Bison , a team then playing in the BNL . After just eight games and two goals however , Anderson would return to Iowa . He played for Iowa State for the 1996 / 97 and 1997 / 98 seasons before again moving on , this time to the Memphis RiverKings , now re - named the Mississippi RiverKings . Anderson played just two CHL games before again returning to Iowa . His experience playing with professional teams would hold Anderson in good stead , and his points production for the 1998 / 99 season was his best season ever , with 84 points in 32 games . His production of almost three points per game would again secure him the league MVP award as well a further selection to the All - Star team , a feat he had managed for all four of his seasons in the ACHA . His prolific scoring helped Iowa to clinch the collegiate club - level championship with a win over Penn State . They would be stripped of their title however due to fielding an ineligible player , specifically Anderson . As he had split his time at Iowa with icing for three professional standard teams , he was deemed to be ineligible to play college hockey . Despite this set - back , Anderson signed for the ECHL Greenville Grrrowl , where he played out the rest of the 1998 / 99 season . Again Anderson would fail to settle , and he would start the 1999 / 00 season playing for the Fort Worth Brahmas , since re - located to North Richland Hills and re - named the Texas Brahmas . The 1999 / 00 season would be a turbulent one for Anderson and he would ice with no less than four teams in just one season . In addition to the Brahmas he played for the Missouri River Otters , the Colorado Gold Kings and the Phoenix Mustangs at UHL and WCHL levels respectively . The following season , 2000 / 01 would also see Anderson play for a number of different teams , this time he would initially play for the CHL Fayetteville Force but after their collapse due to financial issues , he would move to another CHL team , the Border City Bandits . Again financial problems would ensue and Anderson would again move , this time to the Adirondack IceHawks of the UHL . He would grab four points in twelve games for the IceHawks , helping them into the post - season although Anderson would only feature in one play off game . Anderson settled well in the UHL , and his signature would be snapped up in the close season by the newly re - established Kalamazoo Wings . Anderson would be a reliable if not spectacular point scorer for the Wings , and would manage 20 points in 46 regular season games . Despite this increase in productivity Anderson would choose not to re - sign for the Wings , and would again move across the Atlantic to sign for HC Milano . He played 23 games for Milano , and would manage 12 points in the process and so would be part of the Milano squad that would lift both the league championship and the play off title . Anderson would stay in Italy for the following season , 2003 / 04 , and would sign for SV Renon , again playing in Serie A . His goal scoring touch returned and in 12 games he would total 20 points . This form would alert then head coach of the Manchester Phoenix , Rick Brebant who would successfully sign Anderson mid - season . Despite the change in climate and culture , Anderson again settled well and managed to finish the season with 22 points in 30 EIHL games , so helping Manchester into the play offs . Anderson would again be a reliable scorer in the post - season , with 4 points in 6 games prior to the Phoenix being eliminated . Financial problems would follow for Manchester though , and playing operations were suspended in the summer of 2004 . Anderson took this opportunity to take up a coaching role in the game , and would return home to become a coach for the Ontario Minor Hockey Association , and would become a HTCP Level 1 standard trainer . In 2008 , Anderson would again choose to play competitive sport , although changed from ice hockey to inline hockey , signing for the South Carolina Pirates in the PIHA . He again found his scoring touch , netting a remarkable 87 points in just 21 games , helping the Pirates to the Southeast Division Championship in the process . His productivity would ensure his contract was renewed in the summer , confirming Anderson as a Pirates player for the 2009 term .
