In our first episode of the 2025-26 OHL season, Brandon Caputo and new co-host Christian Simmons discuss the first day and a half of Niagara IceDogs training camp with an extended 75 person roster. They discuss the groupings, scrimmages, battles for roster spots, and returning players asserting themselves in the ultra competitive atmosphere.
As well they will touch on the major storylines at camp including the goaltending competition, three overage slot choices, as well as the new draftees and imports coming in vying for spots via 10 new acquisitions this off-season.
You will also hear from new Niagara IceDogs head coach Krys Barch on his core principles, identity he wants for the team, and the mindset he wants to instill in the whole group this week from the get-go of training camp for the upcoming OHL season next month.
