It wasn't a typo

Astute hockey card collectors might have noticed different spellings of the last name for Florida Panthers goalie Craig Anderson.

In this In The Game Action card, his last name is spelled as Andersson. In other cards, though, it's spelled Anderson.

One question cleared up this issue.

It seems that Anderson, an American-born goalie, added the extra "s" to his surname after his youth team played in Sweden. He changed it back to its current spelling, he said, because he never had it legally changed to Andersson.
