(Dakota News Now) -Pierre\u2019s Carter Sanderson was just in Sioux Falls with his Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL&#8230; His next step will be the Fighting Hawks of North Dakota with the ultimate goal of making the NHL after being drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">He\u2019s the first South Dakota native to be selected in the NHL Draft, which will always be a source of pride for Carter and his family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Nathan Sanderson, Carter\u2019s Dad says, \u201cIt\u2019s tremendously gratifying to see a kid who came from small town South Dakota, take advantage of the opportunities that have been presented to him. And of course there\u2019s part of it as a parent where he\u2019s got a lot left to go right. He doesn\u2019t play for the Pittsburgh Penguins yet. He doesn\u2019t play for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux yet. And so it\u2019s an interesting thing to see him progress along his journey and I\u2019m trying to appreciate it while it\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Carter, who scored a goal for us while he was here, is big and strong but also very talented with the puck which made him so attractive to the NHL scouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">I\u2019ll have more on Carter next Monday when he\u2019s our Karl\u2019s TV &amp; Appliance Athlete of the Week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 Dakota News Now.
