First Times A Charm

We are back from an unplanned week off. But don't worry, we have a super episode to make up for it.

The Maryland Charm are your inaugural WLL Champions. From awards to the first round of the playoffs, we have the PLL covered. On top of a bad season, Gavin Adler blows up Mike Pressler's front office on Stick Talk. Canada steals Pan Am gold from the US with a last-second goal. And in the NLL, Ottawa might be closing its doors, making the Jeff Teat sweepstakes real.

The Lax Lifers Club is for the fans who never stopped. If you are the kind of person who will put on a Tuesday night CAA game just because it is on, who still thinks critically about the sport instead of just yelling about it, and who misses the community you had when you were still in it, that is us. Come find your people. https://discord.gg/vpcaWBv6AU
