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.
