Terry Sanderson (August 22, 1952 – November 27, 2014) was the general manager of the Toronto Rock of the National Lacrosse League and has also held various coaching positions through the NLL.
After the 2001 season, Sanderson resigned in order to take the head coach and GM position for the expansion Montreal Express.
During the off-season, Sanderson made a blockbuster trade with GM Johnny Mouradian of the San Jose Stealth (himself a former Rock GM), acquiring his son Josh, nephew Phil, and Rusty Kruger for fan favourite Steve Toll, Darryl Gibson, two draft picks, and a player to be named later, who ended up being goaltender Anthony Cosmo.
[4] Any cries of "nepotism" were silenced during the next season, as Josh set a new single-season assists record with 71,[5] and the Rock finished 12-4 and in first place in the Eastern division for the seventh straight year.
[11] On November 27, 2014, Toronto Rock owner, Jamie Dawick, confirmed, via Twitter, that Sanderson had died due to health issues.
