As a result, several games have already had their venue or time adjusted. Hofstra and Towson h

Ottawa is doing things slightly differently this year Even back to the Riptide days, this Black Bears team had a pretty standard MO from year to year. Jeff Teat produces like one of the best players in the world, and then they miss the playoffs. In fact, this franchise has yet to make the playoffs. Last year they got close, and were in the mix for a playoff spot in the final week of the regular season. In 2026, Jeff Teat is once again playing like one of the best players in t
