This week on the OTCB Podcast we welcome back good friend, Rob Williams to talk about the hottest team in the NLL- the Vancouver Warriors. 

 It's been a long time coming for the Vancouver franchise to be in play-off contention and after winning 5 of their last 6 games, the Warriors are making a real solid push. They can't afford anymore losses but with Williams running the backend, and their collection of veterans and youth- this team is still not out of it yet. 

Week 19 was wild one and we don't expect week 20 to be any different. Can the Rock lock up the #1 seed? Will Buffalo and or Halifax clinch a spot in the big dance. Who will be eliminated after this weekend? 

 We'll break it all down for you plus keep the vibes positive, take yo on another jersey journey and give you a chance to win with out friends over at CoolBet. All that and more on this week's OTCB.

This week on the OTCB Podcast we welcome back Cam Holding of the San Diego Seals. 

Quietly going about their business down in SoCal, the Seals have locked up the #2 seed in the NLL Playoffs and will have home floor for the first two rounds. This is a group with a ton of savvy veterans and Holding is one of those leading the young corp by example. 

He's also extremely instrumental in the growth of the game down in San Diego, working with the JR Seals and Royals. With the addition of the new outdoor box, it's safe to say we're gonna see an invasion of Southern California players in the near future. 

We've got one weekend left in the regular season and there's still so much to be decided. 5 teams battling for 2 spots and there's still the #4 seed- the final home team in the first round - to be decide. 

We'll get you set for all the action, keep the vibes positive and help you win some weekend spending money thanks to CoolBet.
