It may not be the flashiest, furthest reaching or highest profile sports league in North America, but Major League Lacrosse's passionate community of fans, coaches and players give it certain qualities not seen by spectators of more established sports.

Phil joins me to share what makes the league special, what it has to offer the sports travel fan and why the future is brighter than some may assume.
