This week on the OTCB Podcast we chat with Brett Frood, the Commissioner of the NLL, as the league announce that both the Ottawa Black Bears and Philadelphia Wings will cease operations.

It's not the news anyone wants to hear, and for Frood it's another off-season of franchise instability. Over the past few months, Frood has spent every minute doing all he could to keep the Black Bears and Wings in their respective markets. They tried new ownership ideas and even relocation but at the end of the day, there was no viable solution.

So, now we'll have one giant dispersal draft on September 15 and that will lead us into the entry draft. Despite the unfortunate news, there's still plenty to be excited for in the coming months leading to opening weekend.

A new league website and new NLL app are on the horizon, and a league broadcast deal that should be announced in the near future.

All that and more in our exclusive 1 on 1 with the Commissioner this week on OTCB.
