OAKVILLE, Ont. -- Former Toronto Rock coach and general manager Terry Sanderson was inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame on Tuesday. He was the lone inductee of the 2015 class.

Last season's Rock team was the last assembled by Sanderson, who was named the 2015 NLL GM of the Year. He served as the team's GM until his death last November.

Sanderson, a three-time NLL Champion's Cup winner, captured the trophy in 2005 as head coach and GM of the Rock, 2011 as Toronto's assistant coach and GM and in 2009, when he served as an assistant coach with the Calgary Roughnecks.

"He was loyal to a fault to his players," said Rock head coach John Lovell, who gave the induction speech. "He always cared for you in some way.

"We had this trust thing and it was always good to know that someone had your back.
