"Putting another American player in the mix of our roster is a nice element for coach Todd Watson,” said Spirit president Craig Goslin. “Barry Sanderson comes to the Spirit with a great reputation for being a hard worker and a total team player. The Spirit scouts all agree that if our fans like the way Tyler Murovich plays the game, they will like Barry Sanderson, too."
