Early Life

When he was seven he began playing competitively with his local U11 youth team, his teammates and opponents generally being at least three years older than him. In 1999, after encouragement from his youth hockey coach, the family moved to Copenhagen to help further young Anders' hockey career. At 14, Wulff began playing for the Danish men's national under 20 ice hockey team, eventually winning the 2001 International Ice Hockey Federation's World U20 Championships. At 16, he began his professional career in Metal Ligaen, the premier league in Danish ice hockey, with the Kjøbenhavns Skøjteløberforening (English: Copenhagen Ice Skating Club). At 18, Wulff was drafted first overall to the Halifax Heartthrobs.When Wulff was 17, his close friend and teammate Bruno Dahl committed suicide. Wulff will often lift his stick to the sky during a goal celebration to honor him.
