It's the Season 3 premiere of the Purple Reign podcast as the puck is just 48 hours away from dropping on the 2025/26 season...

We have so much to cover as a lot of major news broke since the last time games were played as we gear up to welcome two new teams to the family

We'll also round up all of our draft picks made in Ottawa and the transactions made by front office over the summer

After all of that we recap this year's oreseason which saw all eight teams face off in a two day scrimmage with our Minnesota Frost facing the New York Sirens

We also look ahead as our Frost will try to go for that elusive threepeat which these days is a rarity in sports full stop

Finally we mark your diaries with all of the key dates this season for our Minnesota Frost
