Amalie Andersen (born 6 October 1999) is a Danish ice hockey player and member of the Danish national team, currently playing in the Swedish Nationella Damhockeyligan (NDHL) with Rögle BK.

Playing career

Andersen's college ice hockey career was played with the Maine Black Bears women's ice hockey program in the Hockey East (WHEA) conference of the NCAA Division I during 2019 to 2023.

She became the first Danish player to sign in the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) when she accepted a contract with the Buffalo Beauts in early June 2023.^[1] The PHF was bought out and dissolved on 29 June 2023 and Andersen's contract was voided before she was able to play in the league.

Following the dissolution of the PHF, she signed with Rögle BK in the NDHL for the 2023–24 season.

International play

Andersen has represented Denmark at every IIHF Women's World Championship since making her senior national team debut at the 2015 IIHF World Championship Division I A. She played in the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship, Denmark's first Top Division tournament since 1992, and in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Denmark's Olympic debut in ice hockey.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Personal life

Andersen comes from a family full of ice hockey players, all of whom have played or currently play with the Herning Blue Fox or teams of its affiliate club, Herning IK. Her father, Ernst, played seventeen seasons as a goaltender in the Metal Ligaen and is the current goaltending coach of the Danish men's national ice hockey team and the Herning Blue Fox.^[5] Her mother, Charlotte, and uncles Kim Mohrs Andersen and Peter Nordström all played at elite levels in Denmark.^[6] Frederik, her eldest brother, was drafted 87th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and his career has included starting goaltender positions with several NHL teams. Her second-eldest brother, Sebastian, is also a defenceman and represented Denmark with the men's national under-18 and junior ice hockey teams in the early and mid-2010s; he has not played at an elite level since 2019. Her younger brother, Valdemar, and younger cousin, Emma-Sofie Nordström, are also goaltenders.^[7]
