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:

• Vancouver Warriors Lock Down Owen Grant: The 2024-25 NLL Transition Player of the Year just re-signed for 3 more years. We discuss why this defensive unit is a game-changer and Grant's journey from starting lacrosse at 10 to becoming one of the league's most dominant defenders.
• Austin Staats Suspension Lifted: The former #1 overall pick from 2008 is cleared to return. We break down what this means for the San Diego Seals and why off-field conduct matters just as much as on-field performance.
• Gear Review - Cascade XRS Pro Helmet: Full breakdown of the helmet that's dominating the pro game. Tri-Liner System, angled vision bar, 360 Fit system, magnetic chin strap, and insane customization options.
• GIVEAWAY WINNER ANNOUNCED
• Crease Monsters Swag Store NOW OPEN: Head to CreaseMonsters.com/shop to check out our hoodies, sweatpants, and more!
