Anders Christiansen grows in the beautiful town of Bergen in Norway. He watched his first hockey game in 2010, when the Norwegian national team qualify for the Olympics. This is where he fell in love with the sport and began to follow the sports closely by watching his favourite player Mats Zuccarello who was playing in the SHL at that time. At the beginning of the next winter, he asked his parent to bring to the local hockey rink where he joins the local team. His coach quickly notices how gifted he was as a hockey player and this is where he was put on a more competitive team. Since hockey is still a growing sport in Norway, Christiansen and his team had to travel all the way to Sweden and Finland to play against teams of their calibre in tournaments. Finally, last year, he joined a club in Sweden where he played for their junior team.

Wanting to follow the paths of his idol Mats Zuccarello by playing in the best league in the world, Anders Christiansen decided that the best way to reach his goal was to fly across the Atlantic and come play hockey in North America, where he signed up to be eligible for the SMJHL draft. On November 30th, the Prince George Firebirds choose him with the first pick of the 4th round (25th overall). This is where the Norwegian center will play for the next few seasons before he tries to accomplish his dream by joining an SHL team.
