Terry Sanderson (lacrosse)

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. He was a member of the Sanderson family of Orangeville, Ontario, which has produced a number of lacrosse players and coaches.

Sanderson began his NLL coaching career in 2000 with the Albany Attack.[1] He coached the Attack for two seasons, compiling an 11-15 record. After the 2001 season, Sanderson resigned in order to take the head coach and GM position for the expansion Montreal Express.[2] The Express only lasted a single season before folding.

In 2002, Sanderson replaced his brother Lindsay as head coach of the Ottawa Rebel.[3] The Rebel finished the 2003 season dead last in the NLL at 4-12, and folded after the season.

Sanderson was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame as a builder in 2015.
