Trade Tornado & Card Craze
Welcome back to Crease Monsters! I'm Parker Bottcher, and this is the podcast where we talk all things lacrosse — the biggest plays, the coolest gear, and all the action everyone's buzzing about.
In this episode, we're breaking down:
- Top 10 NLL Moves of the Offseason — Curtis Dixon's homecoming to Vancouver Warriors, Vegas Desert Dogs loading up with Chris Cluchet, Mitch Jones, Tony Malcolm, and Chase Fraser, Jesse King joining Vancouver from Calgary, Mitch De Snuo to Philadelphia, Eric Fennell finally finding stability in Philly, Reese Callies strengthening Vancouver's defense, and Riley Loewen heading back to Calgary.
- Gear Review: Mark 2F Stiff Face Off Head — Perfect bend, solid snap-back, great control and scoop design. But let's talk about that "white" color that's actually baby blue.
- First-Ever Crease Monsters Hoodie Giveaway — Follow @CreaseMonsters on Instagram, like the giveaway post, and tag teammates for extra entries. Runs October 25 - November 7. USA and Canada only.
- PLL 2025 Field Side Trading Card Set — The PLL is now producing their own cards, bringing lacrosse into the same conversation as NFL and NBA collectibles. Mystery mini sticks, one-of-one autographs, and growing the game one pack at a time.
- NLLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement Signed — After weeks of uncertainty and delayed free agency, the new CBA is official. Four more years of NLL guaranteed, better player benefits, and the 2025-26 season is on.
