Anna Segedi (born December 20, 2000), also known by the Chinese name Zhang Xifang (Chinese: 张喜芳), is an American professional ice hockey player for the Vancouver Goldeneyes of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). She played college ice hockey at St. Lawrence.

Segedi was a member of the Chinese national team that played in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics and at Division 1 tournaments of the IIHF Women's World Championship in 2022 and 2023.

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Born in China, Segedi grew up in Commerce Township, Michigan, a western suburb of Metro Detroit in the United States. She played minor ice hockey in the Tier 1 Elite B Hockey League (T1EBHL) with Detroit-based Honeybaked 14U from 2012 to 2014 and in the T1EHL 16U league with Belle Tire Girls Minor Midget in the 2014–15 season, ranking third in the league for scoring and leading the team to the 16U national title. Her junior career was played with Belle Tire Girls 19U in the T1EHL 19U and USA Hockey Girls Tier I 19U, with whom she won the national championship title in 2017, a national championship silver medal in 2018, a national championship bronze medal in 2019, and claimed three consecutive Michigan state titles.[2][3]

NCAA

[edit | edit source]

Segedi joined the St. Lawrence Saints women's ice hockey program in the ECAC Hockey conference of the NCAA Division I as a freshman in the 2019–20 season. She found success in her first month of NCAA play, scoring six goals and five assists – including a hat-trick against New Hampshire – and was named the Women's Player of the Week for October 7, 2019, and the Women's Rookie of the Month for October 2019 by ECAC Hockey.[4][5] She concluded her rookie season ranked second of all St. Lawrence skaters in scoring, with 11 goals and 12 assists for 23 points in 36 games.

Her sophomore season continued to build on her success and saw Segedi lead the team in scoring, with four goals and eight assists for 12 points in 13 games of the COVID-19 shorted season. She was named the February 2021 Army ROTC Player of the Month by ECAC Hockey after averaging more than a point per game across the month and recording three multi-point performances.[6]

ZhHL

[edit | edit source]

Presented with the opportunity to try out for the Chinese women's national ice hockey team at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Segedi paused her college ice hockey career and signed to play professionally in the Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL) with the KRS Vanke Rays in the summer of 2021. The team's roster for 2021–22 comprised only players eligible to represent China at the upcoming Olympics, giving head coach Brian Idalski extensive time to assess individual play before building the national team.[7] Segedi made a convincing case for her place on the national team, scoring a hat-trick against 7.62 Voskresensk and ranking third on the team for goals (fourth for points). She was named the ZhHL Rookie of the Month in September 2021.[2]

PWHL

[edit | edit source]

Segedi was drafted in the third round, twenty-second overall, by the Minnesota Frost in the 2025 PWHL Draft.[8] On July 29, 2025, she signed a two-year contract with the Frost.[9] She was traded to the Vancouver Goldeneyes for Denisa Krizova on November 19, 2025, prior to her PWHL debut.[10]
