A one-game wonder in the NHL, Anholt was drafted 54th overall by Chicago in 1981 while playing with the Calgary Wranglers of the WHL.
During his years in junior he was known more for his fists than his scoring or solid defensive play, but during his two years in the AHL his reputation never enabled him to get a full-time chance with the Hawks. He was called up for one game in the 1983-84 season, but at the end of the year the Hawks didn't offer him new contract and he wound up in the IHL for one year, playing for the Milwaukee Admirals before retiring at age 23
