Earlier tonight we learned that Toronto Rock general manager Terry Sanderson had passed away. Several league players, executives, and media members took to Twitter to express mourning for the NLL legend.
Prayers going out to the Sanderson family. So sorry for the loss. He was a hell of a guy and a hell of a coach
