Sanza played major junior in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) for three seasons with the Montreal Red White and Blue and Sherbrooke Beavers. He set a league record for most shutouts in a single season with seven in 1974–75 (later tied by Roberto Luongo and Adam Russo). He joined the North American Hockey League in 1975–76 and played with the Erie Blades and Beauce Jaros.
Sanza turned pro in 1975–76 with the Tucson Mavericks of the Central Hockey League (CHL). Having been drafted 64th overall by the Denver Spurs in the 1975 WHA Amateur Draft, he joined the club in 1975-76. He had also been drafted 150th overall in the 1975 NHL Entry Draft by the Atlanta Flames, but never played a game in the NHL.
In 1976-77, Sanza returned to the minor leagues with the Greensboro Generals of the SHL. Two seasons later, he enrolled at the University of Alberta and played in the Canadian university circuit. In 1987-88, he went overseas to play in the Italian Serie A with HC Asiago and later, the Milan Devils.
