Chad Anderson (born June 16, 1982) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman who currently plays for the Alaska Aces of the East Coast Hockey League.

Playing career

Anderson first played in the USHL for the Twin City Vulcans in 1997–98 and for the Tri-City Storm from 2000–03. He then committed to a collegiate career playing for the University of Alaska-Anchorage in the WCHA. After completing his four year career with the Seawolves, Chad made his professional debut at the end of the 2006–07 season, signing an amateur contract with the Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL for a couple of games.

In his rookie professional season in 2007–08, he played in the AHL with the Philadelphia Phantoms.

On August 6, 2008 Anderson was signed as a free agent by the Montreal Canadiens to a one-year contract and consequently played the 2008–09 and 2009–10 seasons with the Canadiens' top farm team, the Hamilton Bulldogs.

A free agent prior to the 2010–11 season, Chad unsuccessfully attended the Peoria Rivermen training camp before he was re-assigned to earn a contract with ECHL affiliate, the Alaska Aces. After starting the year with the Aces, he was temporarily loaned to the depleted Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL for two games, before returning to the Aces blueline.
