Chris Sanderson, Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Famer, has died of brain cancer at the age of 38. After leading the University of Virginia to two Final Fours, Sanderson served as a reserve goalie and later coach for the Philadelphia Wings, the Tampa Bay Storm of the National Lacrosse League. Sanderson is best known as the goaltender for the Canadian National Team in 4 international competitions, earning honors as top netminder 3 times, including the 2006 tournament where the feisty northerners upset the United States for their first world title in 28 years. His last appearance was at the 2010 Federation of International Lacrosse World Championships - 18 months after he was diagnosed with glioblastoma and given 1 year to live. Stopping his chemotherapy to allow him to recover in time to play in Manchester, his miraculous recovery was a rallying point for the hosers as they captured the silver medal.
