We are saddened to share the news of the passing of Carol Anderson after a courageous battle with health issues over the past months. The long time President of Penn Monto and a pioneer in the world of field hockey and women’s sports, Carol has been instrumental in the evolution of field hockey balls, as she managed production and distribution of the Official Ball dating back to AIAW Field Hockey Championships in the early 80s. 

Carol’s name is synonymous with field hockey ball development in the United States, and she has been an avid supporter of USFHA, NFHCA, NCAA Field Hockey, and youth field hockey. Carol will be missed by the entire field hockey community for her vibrant personality, loyalty to her friends and clients, and passion for women’s sports.

A Celebration of Carol's life will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the North Hadley Congregational Church, 243 River Drive, North Hadley, MA.
