In the lead-up to the 2008-09 season Sanford as well as the Canucks organized a contest that asked fans to submit their artwork to be used as a mask. The contest was designed to coincide with his new name of “The Big C.S.” The nickname Sanford has “the Sandman”, inspired his earlier mask designs. After Luongo was injured in the groin in the latter part of November, Sanford assumed the starting position. But, Sanford himself became prone to injury and was afflicted with back spasms during a game in the Columbus Blue Jackets on December 1st, 2008, prior to being put on injured reserve for an injury to the groin the following day, December 30. After the purchase by Jason LaBarbera and the imminent return of Luongo, Sanford was placed on waivers by the Canucks on January 14th, 2009. After clearing waivers, he got assigned by the Manitoba Moose of the AHL which he played for the remainder of the season.

He was a part of the team’s first five seasons playing in their farm program between his team the Peoria Rivermen in the ECHL and the Worcester IceCats of the American Hockey League (AHL). Sanford was called up to the Blues during the 2002-03 hockey season due to injuries to goalie Fred Brathwaite and Brent Johnson in October. Sanford was a part of his first game , when fellow rookie selection Reinhard Divis was also struck in the opening period on the 17th of October on the 2002 season with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Sanford made 12 saves in relief during the 7-1 win for the Blues.
