Anders Lempia

Anders Lempia was hired as Assistant General Manager of the Laker hockey team in September of 2025. He arrives in Sault Ste. Marie after two years at Robert Morris University under head coach Derek Schooley.

A 2023 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, holding a Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Anders brings tremendous energy, expertise and vision to the Laker coaching staff. He specializes in analytics and data science, and how to take information and use it across various systems. His work translates into recruiting, statistical analysis, athletic performance, and numerous other fields, taking a modern, data-driven approach to the science of advising the Laker staff.

At RMU, Andera was Video and Analytics Coordinator. His roles at Lake Superior State will also tie heavily into the program's video needs. From pre-scouting to tactical analysis, Anders' work encompasses traditional and newer approaches to the game. On gamedays, he plays key roles in breaking down film for coaches to use at intermission and coordinating challenges. He also manages essential team logistics.

During his undergraduate studies, Anders placed as a runner-up at the 2022 Stathletes Big Data Cup. His project was based on play-by-play data from women's hockey, evaluating individual puck touches and their contribution to driving play forward. A native of Oak Park, IL, Anders has also spent time with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL as a Hockey Operations Video Coordinator.
