Pierre native, Carter Sanderson doesn’t get a lot of time at home during the season or throughout the year, but when he is home, Sanderson enjoys being able to be on the ice with the people he grew up with, having fun.
Wednesday nights at the IceBarn in Pierre, Huff and Puff games will be played for anyone who wants to play hockey young and old. Sanderson has been able to join those games when he’s been home even if it is few and far between. Sanderson was home after winning the gold medal with Team USA at the World Junior A Challenge before heading back to Muskegon to continue the USHL season after Christmas.
