Omaha General Manager Marc Fritsche grew up balancing both hockey and football in the pigskin-mad corner of northeastern Ohio, and parlayed his early years into a coaching, scouting, and administrative career spanning from the Buckeye State to the blazing sunshine of Phoenix, Arizona. 

While his Lancers inhale pasta, salad, and breadsticks in the lobby of a Cranberry Township hotel, Fritsche chats about his childhood in his hometown of Parma, his playing career that included over 140 games in Switzerland, and how he and a new coaching staff are taking on the challenge of rebuilding the Lancers - and creating a sustainable quality culture in Omaha - after a chaotic 2024-2025 season. 

Hope you enjoy.
