Andrew Kew is having the best year that not enough people are talking about. Kew has played a pivotal role in the Swarm's turnaround, and even with two games remaining in the NLL season, he has already set multiple personal single-season records. The Big question down the stretch is: Can Andrew Kew and the Swarm make it into this year's playoffs?

Mike Hasen is a winner. He's won a championship as a player in the NLL and won multiple titles as the Head Coach of the Rochester Knighthawks. He's essentially spent more time in Rochester over the last 30 years than anywhere else. Hear his story in this week's episode!

Ed Comeau has been a coach in the NLL for over 2 decades. In 2004, he got his 1st experience being a head coach, but it wasn't until 2006 that he was the leader on the bench for an entire season.

He has won two NLL Coach of the Year awards and is hoping to make his newest team, the Vancouver Warriors, NLL champs. Thanks to Coach Cordingley for sharing his NLL story!

Corey Small has become a bit of a journeyman in the NLL. Over the last 4 seasons, he has played for 3 teams. But it hasn't mattered where he's played in his 12-year NLL career; Small has played very well wearing any jersey. This season with the Rock, Small is having a career year and is hoping to win his 1st NLL title with the Rock. In this episode, I examine Small's career in the NLL and how he's been able to play so well this year. Tom Schreiber and Pro Lacrosse Talk Founder Hutton Jackson also join me for this episode.

Move over, Kevin Crowley, there's a new franchise goals leader on the Philadelphia Wings, and his name is Blaze Riorden. Going into Week 16 action of this NLL season, Blaze has scored 82 career goals with the Wings, passing Crowley, who put 80 goals in the net. Matt Rambo currently has 79 goals for the Wings and he will likely pass Crowley as well this weekend - the Wings play 2 games in Week 16. Hear from Blaze about his journey to becoming the franchise leader in goals. It's been a wild ride, but he wouldn't change a thing!

One of the reasons so many of us love the NLL and its players is that these supreme athletes are so much more than just athletes. They are fathers and/or husbands or all-around busy guys who often work full-time jobs. NLLPA Vice President and Executive Director Reid Reinholdt is one of those guys. Not only does he hold very important responsibilities for the NLLPA, but he's also a key veteran piece on the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. Hear about the Desert Dogs and what's going on with the NLLPA in the episode of The Lacrosse Matrix Podcast.

Mitch Jones is back playing in the East Conference, and he is playing the best lacrosse (statically speaking) of his career.

Hear from Mitch and his former Warriors teammate Logan Schuss about how Mitch is doing so well with his new team.
