Anna Skovgaard grew up in Norway, so coming to North America to play in the SMJHL was quite the culture shock. Her English was very good when she arrived, but after getting drafted by Quebec City, she soon had the pressure of needing to know some French for the rabid French speaking fanbase in the city. The people from Quebec are also so much more up front about everything which has taken a lot of getting used to. However moving to Canada has come with a few things she has really come to enjoy. Baseball isn’t really a thing in Norway but it has quickly become Anna’s favorite offseason activity, adopting the Toronto Blue Jays as her favorite team. Another thing she’s really enjoyed in Canada is the food, specifically poutine. There is just something about it that Anna loves. After explaining what it is to her Norwegian family, they all gave her a look like she had lost her mind with these crazy North American foods.
