## Resource

On today’s episode of Off the Roster, Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn catch up after Lindsay’s time in California covering the FIFA World Cup, breaking down the biggest stories from the tournament before shifting focus to Las Vegas and the start of NBA Summer League. The crew dives into the Toronto Raptors’ future, including Kyle Lowry officially retiring as a Raptor, what his legacy means to the organization, whether DeMar DeRozan could ever return to Toronto and mend fences, and what comes next for the franchise moving forward. They also break down the Toronto Blue Jays’ West Coast road trip, reacting to their series against the San Francisco Giants after a rough 10-1 loss in Game 1 and their response in Game 2. Plus, Dan, Cabbie, and Lindsay discuss the latest Toronto Maple Leafs coaching news as Daniel Alfredsson leaves the Ottawa Senators bench to become associate coach with the Leafs, what his addition means for the staff, and how Toronto is shaping up for the upcoming NHL season. #OffTheRoster #Raptors #WeTheNorth #BlueJays #LeafsForever #NBA #NHL #WorldCup SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍 Proline: https://proline.olg.ca/ 👍 Ninja Flex Flame: https://www.sharkninja.ca/ninja-flexflame-propane-grill-outdoor-cooking-system-blue/PG304CBL.html?utm_source=BetterCollective&utm_medium=PaidDisplay&utm_campaign=H1NinjaOutdoor&utm_content=NinjaEN&dwvar_PG304CBL_color=393D49 Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!
