The 29-year-old attacker spent his youth in the Canadian youth championship QMJHL. From 2012 to 2016, the agile and fast right-handed shooter played for the Blainville-Boisbrand Armada and collected a total of 254 points (232 goals and 95 assists) in 137 games. In his last season, Sanche took to the ice as captain. This was followed by a move to the college league USports, where the 1995-born striker played for another 4 years.

He made a total of 112 appearances and scored 107 points (52 goals) for Concordia University. The Canadian stood out above all for his consistency. In all four championships, Sanche averaged more than one point per game in the regular phase. After a year's break due to the corona pandemic, he moved to Europe for the first time in 2021. With the Dundee Stars (EIHL), the 29-year-old scored 106 points (46 goals and 60 assists) in just 97 appearances. In the last championship, Philippe moved within the league to the Glasgow Clan and scored 27 points in 29 games (11 goals).

The 165 centimetre tall winger weighs 72 kilograms and will cause quite a stir in front of the opponents' goal. Sanche will wear the number 10 for the Broncos.
