This week on the Off the CrosseBar Podcast we welcome NLL on TSN analyst and host of "Coaches Calls", Brad Challoner.

A busy lacrosse dad, Challoner is just as excited as the rest of us to get the new season going. So we'll dive into some team previews with Brad as we get his perspective one some very important questions.

We'll open up the mailbox for the first time, answering some of your questions as there's still so many mysteries as we approach Face-off weekend.

There's just three weeks left for teams decide their final rosters so pre-season games will be vital and thankfully for everyone- NLL+ will be broadcasting a few of them.
