This week on the Off the Crosse Bar Podcast, we the start the New Year with a quiet week 6 in the NLL but two fantastic guests to fill the void. First up is our good friend Adam Levi who seemingly never sleeps. Levi continues to provide outstanding coverage of the lacrosse landscape but his most recent work may be his best yet. 'Life, Loss and Lacrosse' is a beautifully produced piece on Dyson Williams' journey to the NLL and is a much watch. Todd Tobias has a rich history in sports but it wasn't until the NLL arrived in San Diego that he truly fell in love with lacrosse. Now, he's partnered up with TFL Trading Cards to produce cards from the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships. If you ever collected cards as a kid, you're gonna wanna get your hands on a set of these! We'll recap week 5, set you up for week 6 and give you another chance to win with CoolBet. All that and more on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast we're joined by Philadelphia Wings GM Paul Day after his club got their first win of the season in convincing fashion. Day was one of the busiest GMs during the off-season taking advantage of the Panther City dispersal draft and having the #1 overall pick. The Wings aren't in a rebuild but Day is doing a great job revitalizing the Wings to NLL prominence. A life-long Springsteen fan, Day is always keen to add players that were "Born in the USA". We'll answer your questions from the Mailbox, set you up for a quiet week 4 and give you another chance to win with CoolBet. All that and more on this week's OTCB

This week on the OTCB Podcast we welcome back Vancouver Warriors GM/HC Curt Malawsky to the show. After a disappointing loss on opening weekend, the Warriors had week two off, and Malawsky has made sure that his team is getting better every time out. Taking time to help rookies Jonathan Peshko and Payton Cormier adapt to the NLL has been one of his main focuses. We ask him the ceiling for second year defensive standout Owen Grant, does he need more from goalie Aiden Walsh, how he combats the riggers of the opening month and of course, what's on his Christmas Wish List. With all 14 teams in action this weekend, we take a look at all seven match-ups getting you set for week 3. Plus we dive into the Mailbag and give you another chance to win with Coolbet. All that and more on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast, we welcome back friend of the show Ian MacKay of the Bandits as they get set to defend their title- again! While there may not be much talk of the 3peat, MacKay and the Bandits know that there's a huge target on their backs. So maybe that's why this year's training camp was a little different than others. Buffalo didn't play in week 1, so MacKay and his "dad", Matt Vinc, as well as some other teammates, braved the snow storm and watched the Bills on Monday night. We'll break down week 1 in the NLL as there were a few surprises out of the gate, set you up for week 2, answer all your questions and give you another chance to win with the Polar Bears over at CoolBet. All that and more, on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast we get tuned up for the NLL's return to Ottawa with 'The Gremlin', Nate Grenon. As a local guy, Grenon has been working hard to create the buzz around town to ensure the Black Bears have a successful first season in town. It doesn't hurt that the Black Bears had an uber intense training camp. We'll get you primed for week 1, give you our way-too early year end award winners and your first chance of the season to win with the CoolBet Polar Bears. All that and more on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast, we're just over a week away from the new season and the NLL continues to drop news- so we have an exclusive 1on1 with the Commissioner Brett Frood. NLL+ will be the global streaming platform for the NLL so lacrosse fans around the world will be able to consume the league better than ever! But Frood isn't happy with the status quo as he continues to flesh out new ownership and stabilizing current ones. Next week the 24-25 season will kickoff so the boys break down 14 storylines, one for each team, to keep an eye on. We'll take a look at some CoolBet Futures and talk a lot of lacrosse on the season premier of OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast, Paul Dawson of the Back-to-Back Champion Buffalo Bandits stops by after winning his 3rd NLL title in his illustrious 17 year career. After not being re-signed by the Knigthawks, Dawson began the season with the Mammoth but once their season was lost, a last minute deal to the Bandits turned his and their seasons around. Can Buffalo 3-peat? That probably depends on if Matt Vinc returns. We keep the Vibes Positive, give you an NCAA/WLA parlay thanks to CoolBet and a whole lot more. All this week on OTCB.
