Tanner Cook is a leader of the Calgary Roughnecks offense. The 27-year-old has already scored 13 goals in only 5 games so far during the 2025-26 NLL Season. He's learned from some of the best Roughnecks in history and has taken on a new leadership role as he follows in their footsteps.

Tanner and I chatted about his tenure with the Roughnecks (and how long he wants to be with the club), His time learning from the likes of Dane Dobbie and Curtis Dickson, the talented youngsters on the team, and much more.

The Buffalo Bandits' Nick Weiss is one of the best all-around transition players in the National Lacrosse League today. He's a big team guy who will muck it up on the floor to grab any loose ball and to force as many caused turnovers as possible. He'll always find himself on the scoresheet every once in a while.

I spoke with the 3-time NLL champion and 6-time NLL Finals participant about the Bandits' run for a 4th consecutive championship, his little-talked-about rookie season with the Vancouver Stealth, and what we should expect for the Bandits' upcoming heavyweight matchup versus the Las Vegas Desert Dogs.

Enjoy this first episode of 2026!

Brett Hickey was one of the National Lacrosse League's most dominant goal scorers of the late 2010s. Especially during his time with the Toronto Rock, he was an offensive beast.

Now he's in the next phase of his lacrosse life, as the offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. Hickey and the Desert Dogs earned their first win of the season in Week 4 NLL action. Hickey and I break down that contest, talk about his playing career, and revisit the 2015 season, which will always hold a special place in his heart.
