This week on the OTCBPodcast we are joined by the Commissioner of the National Lacrosse League, Nick Sakiewicz. With the NLL on hiatus since March, Sakiewicz and his staff have been working diligently towards the 35th season in league history. So when can fans expect that season to start? What will it look like? And what about Fort Worth... when will we find out their name? We have so much to ask him. Plus, what would a spring start mean to the rest of the lacrosse world? We also talk about the recent PLPA vote, and some untimely tweets mean we still have a long way to go. All that and more on this week's OTCBPodcast.

This week on the #OTCBPodcast we take a break from 20 questions and welcome the Commissioners from the both the NLL and WLA on to the show, to talk about their status moving forward during these wild and crazy times.

IF and it's a large IF, if they can find a window to play in, the league is working on a few different options with hopes of handing out the #NLLCup. Next up is Paul Dal Monte from the WLA and unfortunately, the news from the Canadian Summer loop isn't as promising. Earlier in the week both the WLA and MSL (Major Series Lacrosse) announced that they would be cancelling their seasons and there would be no Mann Cup. It'll be the first time in over 100 years a team hasn't lifted the trophy. Some good news, some bad news and some sad news on this week's OTCBPodcast.

This week on the OTCBPodcast we are are joined by the Commissioner of the NLL, Nick Sakiewicz as well Colorado Mammoth back-up goalie Tyler Carlson. Our interview with the Commissioner was recorded 24hrs before the NLL announced the suspension of the season due to the Corona Virus; following suit with most other major professional leagues in North America.
