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.

Ryan Lanchbury is one of the best passers in the National Lacrosse League. He's got the skill, the vision, and a special connection with his teammates that has helped him become one of the most difficult players to stop in the league.

In this conversation, Lanchbury and I talk about everything from his performance in Week 3, crying in sports, what it means for the Knighthawks to have an Indigenous owner, and so much more.

Check out this episode of TLMP with our fantastic guest, Ryan Lanchbury.

Joe Resetarits is arguably one of the best Americans to play in the National Lacrosse League. If we're being honest, with what he seems to have left in the tank, when it's all said and done, he will likely be in the conversation of the Top 20 or Top 15 forwards of all-time.

Resetarits is going to be taking on a bigger role without Mitch Jones on the team this year, but no matter who he's played with, Resetarits has been an elite scorer and playmaker.

In this conversation, I brought on a surprise guest for Joe, we talked about expectations for this season, and we chatted about his impact as an American in the box game.

Warren Hill delivered a historic performance in Week 2 of the National Lacrosse League season. He is now a member of an elite group of 3 men who have achieved a certain feat. Sit back, relax, and find out what Hill achieved in this episode.

We also spoke about the importance of the Haudenosaunee being included in the Olympics, the Six Nations Chiefs, and much more!

Robert Church is Mr. Rush. He holds many records in Saskatchewan/Edmonton Rush franchise history and will be making more Rush history this season. He's a dynamic goal scorer and an equally talented playmaker. He's hoping for a great season with his team, with the goal of helping them get back into the NLL Finals and competing for the NLL Cup.

In this conversation, Church and I cover a ton of topics, including what it felt like to come up short for the NLL Cup last season, who some of the bright young stars on the Rushs to have accomplished so many rare feats in Rush history, and so much more!

Tyler Pace is now the veteran guy on this year's young Calgary Roughnecks team. There's been tons of turnover with his team this offseason, which is giving him more of a leading role. He's ready for this opportunity - and who knows how many more opportunities he'll have like this in a Calgary Roughnecks uniform.

In the episode, Tyler and I chat about his future with the Roughnecks, what this new look team is going to be able to accomplish on the floor, his ranking among the all-time Roughnecks greats, and much more. Enjoy the conversation!
