This week on the OTCBP Podcast, we are back! After taking a few weeks off to rest, relax and work on our golf games', it's time to get back into the swing of things as we are just three weeks away from opening weekend. We've got a lot to catch-up on and what better way to get things started, than with the man in charge, NLL Commissioner Brett Frood. Now in year two of his tenure, it's truly time to get to work. Realizing that with all the positive momentum, the league still does have its challenge areas. One big area in technology and creating a better touch-point relationship with the fans. We talk about the future growth of the game when it comes to The Olympics and the newly announced NLL Unboxed program that has already knocked it out of the park. Two new segments this year with "Positive Vibes Only" and the "Jersey Journey" where we try and guess a random players name based solely on the teams that he's played for. All that and more including a look at the pre-season odds thanks to our friends over at CoolBet Canada, this week on OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast, Rush GM Derek Keenan brought us back from our summer hiatus with two major trades; so we got the voice of the Rush, Cody Janzen to hop on the show and break it all down. Mark Matthews will forever be a Rush, but after this week's trade, he's now a member of the Toronto Rock. Saskatchewan got younger, bigger and faster thanks to two deals and they also have themselves 5 picks in the first 24 selections in this year's draft. Keenan is up to his old tricks- no rebuilding but retooling! We also talk to Cody about the RMLL who will host this year's Minto Cup and have two teams vying for the National Jr A Championships. But what will they do after that? Because a 4-team Jr A league isn't all that competitive. We look back to San Diego, talk about all things summer lacrosse and give you another round of Boxbets- all that and more on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCBPodcast, for the first time in 15 years, the Buffalo Bandits are Champions of the NLL. After so much heartbreak and pain from losing in the last two NLL Finals, the Bandits finally got to the top of the mountain, defeating Colorado 13-4 in game 3. It was pure domination from the opening whistle and it was obvious, Buffalo wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away again. Captain Steve Priolo joins us this week to talk about the emotions from last Saturday night, what it means to him, the city of Buffalo and to a guy like Matt Vinc who just won his 4th NLL title. Dhane Smith was named MVP after setting a new single post-season record for points as he and Vinc carried the team up the mountain to slay the dragon. Plus, we talk about the future of Vinc, will we see a trilogy rematch, and of course another round of BoxBets. All that and more, on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCBPodcast- it's a case of deja-vu as the Bandits and Mammoth go the distance in the NLL Finals. After a narrow 1-goal win in game 1, the Bandits couldn't get to the top of the mountain quite yet, as the Mammoth cruised to a game 2 win. So we're right back where we were last year- two teams, 60 minutes, one champion. We'll break down game 2, set you up for game 3, hit you with out Thumbs up - Thumbs down, as well as three-league parlay in BoxBets. All that and more on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCBPocast we get your as prepared as possible for the NLL Finals. A rematch of the 2022 series that saw the Mammoth defy the odds and upset the Bandits in the best of three, with Dillon Ward stealing the show all while earning Playoff MVP honours. But this year's Buffalo team is playing at another level right now having only given up 21 goals in three playoff games and even more staggering, having given up just THREE 4th quarter goals. It should be another dynamite series. Plus we'll break down all the 2023 NLL Award winners, hit you with a juice BoxBets parlay and chat with Joel McCready from the Vancouver Warriors. All that and more on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast we all get treated to one of the best moments in sports- do or die Game 3! The Mammoth and Roughnecks have battler back and forth in the opening two match-ups; both one goal games. So what in the world can they do to top that? These two squads are so evenly matched, it could come down to the all the little details. Who hurt the Buffalo Bandits? The overall number 1 seed in the playoffs steamrolled Rochester in round one, and then went on to dismantle the Toronto Rock in the East Finals. Is there anyone that can stop this runaway train? The NLL announced it's end of the year award nominees and we break it all down, cause we have questions... Plus a look at how our Jr B's teams are faring in their Run for the Founders, wonder what LT4's plans may be this summer and give you a game3 edition of our BoxBets.
