Franklyn Bonn Sanders (March 8, 1949 – February 17, 2012) was an American professional ice hockey player who made 76 regular season game appearances for the WHA Minnesota Fighting Saints in 1972–73.
Born in Oakdale, Minnesota, he is perhaps best known for being a member of the United States hockey team that won a silver medal in the 1972 Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan.
After turning down an offer by the Boston Bruins in order to play for the Olympics, Sanders was later signed by his hometown team, the Minnesota Fighting Saints.
At the end of his first season, he unexpectedly quit playing hockey to pursue life in the ministry.
In November 2011, he published his autobiography titled From Silver to Gold in which he tells of about his experiences playing hockey and his sudden decision to walk away from his pro career.
