San Diego Seals Captain Wes Berg knows how to help his team win.

In Week 12 NLL action, Berg led his Seals into Banditland to face the Buffalo Bandits and helped his side to a dramatic 14-13 OT win. Berg not only scored 5 goals in that game, but he also scored the game-winner in OT.

Despite the Seals’ 3-5 start, they have now won 2 massive road games against the Toronto Rock and Bandits, respectively, to move to 5-5 on the season. They are now right back in the thick of the playoff race, currently sitting in 9th, only behind the Vancouver Warriors for that final playoff spot because of tie-breaks.

But this conversation involved much more than chatting about the Seals’ most recent game. Berg and I talked about fishing, great brunch spots in San Diego, and much more. Make sure you give this one a listen to stay up-to-date on everything Seals’ lacrosse and Wes Berg.

Tyrell Hamer-Jackson is back in the National Lacrosse League.

The face-off man/defenseman has signed a 1-year deal with the Las Vegas Desert Dogs, a team that has been looking for their long-term reliable guy at the dot since their inaugural season in 2022.

Hamer-Jackson had a couple of great years, winning draws in Vancouver with the Vancouver Warriors in 2022 and 2023. Now with the Desert Dogs, he’s focused on taking things one draw a time.

We also chatted about Hamer-Jackson’s Loading Lacrosse and his very unique and exciting day job.

Give this a listen. If you’re a Desert Dogs fan, you’ll want to learn all about your newest guy at the dot.

Connor Kirst is the captain of the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. He has been a leader in every sense of the world, both on and off the floor.

He is one of the rare Americans who has ever been a captain of an American National Lacrosse League team. What an incredible honor to have for a guy and a family that has given so much to the beautiful game of lacrosse both in the box and on the field.

Enjoy the in-depth conversation with Captain Kirst. We chatted about everything from his history playing box to being named captain of the Desert Dogs to his brother CJ Kirst of Cornell University helping to raise money for CityLax through their #GBSFORNYC initiative.

Christian Del Bianco is considered to be one of, if not the best, NLL goaltenders, and he’s not even playing in the NLL this season.

The former Calgary Roughnecks goaltender, NLL Goaltender of the Year, and NLL champion is hoping to get back into the NLL after he told the Roughnecks he wasn’t going to play for them anymore. Still, the Roughnecks have not let him go anywhere just yet.

Del Bianco has been playing in the Arena Lacrosse League for the Grizzles while he’s been out of the NLL and has been one of that league’s best goaltenders this season.

Del Bianco and I talked about everything that is going on in his life right now, from the ALL to moving into his new home and dove into his past and present in the NLL.

We don’t hear from Christian Del Bianco often when it comes to all of these issues (unless through a humorous tweet), so make sure to give this entire conversation a listen to get all the latest on the Christian Del Bianco saga and much more.

We can never forget about the people who paved the way to make the National Lacrosse League what it is today.

Neil Doddridge played in the NLL for 14 seasons from 1991-2005. He played in 8 different cities during his time in the league and won two NLL championships, one in 1991 with the Detroit Turbos and the other in 1996 with the Buffalo Bandits.

He was a tough, no-nonsense defender who always had his teammate's backs. Many of the guys he played with became NLL legends, including Paul Gait, Gary Gait, and John Tavares.

Neil and I dove into his long history in the NLL, what the game and the league were like in the 1990s and early 2000s, and much more.

The Toronto Rock’s Tom Schreiber, aka “Captain America,” is one of the best Americans to ever play in the National Lacrosse League.

Schreiber has recently returned to the floor for the Rock after recovering from yet another injury. In his first couple of games back, he looks locked in. He is now on the cusp of moving up the Rock’s all-time ranks in both assists and goals - he could achieve both milestones this weekend.

Enjoy this conversation as Tom and I chat about the Rock, dishing the rock, scoring for the Rock, and a little bit about the NFL playoffs.

Larson Sundown is one of the most talented offensive stars on the Ottawa Black Bears. He is a versatile scorer that can make teams pay from all of the floor.

In recent weeks, Sundown is playing some of his best lacrosse, not only of this National Lacrosse League season, but of his career. Having posted back-to-back hat tricks in coming into the Black Bears’ Week 9 NLL game against the Vancouver Warriors, it’s fair to say Larson Sundown is feeling it right now.

Beyond being a rising star in the NLL, Sundown is a family man who embraces his, and the sport’s rich cultural history. Sit back and enjoy this episode with Larson Sundown where we talk about lacrosse, family, indigenous culture, and much more.

Pat Coyle is one of the winningest head coaches in NLL history.

After he led his Colorado Mammoth to a thrilling 15-13 comeback victory on the team’s home floor in Denver in Week 7 against the Albany FireWolves, Coyle passed Chris Hall for the 9th-most head coaching wins in NLL history, earning W #86.

Having been a leader on the bench for this team since 2014, Coyle has been through it all with his guys. He’s had some down years, but he’s also won an NLL Cup with this club during his coaching career.

Enjoy this conversation where Coach Coyle and I take a deep dive into his time coaching the Mammoth, and his time as a player with the Mammoth, as well.

The Lacrosse Matrix Podcast is back. This week, a Vancouver lacrosse fan-favorite and Vancouver Warriors/Stealth all-time great, Logan Schuss, was the featured guest of the week.

Schuss is not currently signed to any NLL team, but he is eager to get back on the floor and is ready to play any positive role to help win a team a championship.

Schuss and I spoke about his time with the Minnesota Swarm, his time with the Warriors and Stealth, his brief stint with the Calgary Roughnecks, and what his future looks like.

Note: I apologize; there were some audio issues during this episode, particularly between the 10:00 and 12:00 minute marks of the show.

It’s not every day that you get to listen to and learn from a National Lacrosse League Hall of Famer, but for episode 79, you get that opportunity. Happy Holidays.

Tracey Kelusky is the current Associate Head Coach and Offensive Coach of the Philadelphia Wings. He is also a former player and a two-time NLL champion.

Coach Kelusky hopped on the pod to chat about his playing days, his journey as a coach in the NLL, and, most notably, his 2024-25 Wings team. Throughout the conversation you’ll hear all about the incredible record-setting games that Kelusky has been a part of.

It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss ahead of the Wings’ Week Five clash against the Saskatchewan Rush this weekend - check it out!
