In this special edition of the podcast, the crew galvanizes their anger into a heated discussion on the NHL’s decision to create an anti-LGBTQ policy, creating a social and public backlash. The crew looks to see if this is the right move for the NHL going forward. We have a fully packed house providing great viewpoints, and some OVERTLY aggressive thoughts. We would like to point though, listener and content discretion is strongly advised for this episode as we do go off in this one here.
 
THEN 
Our originally planned episode with Troy and Avry where they discuss... 
-The preseason is finally over!! 
-NHL Western Conference preview (Contenders, on the verge, pretenders, going to be bad) 
- Three predictions: Cup Final match up predictions, MVP, Calder winner
-Kevin Constantine suspended, contract with Wentachee Wild terminated (cannot apply for WHL reinstatement until July 2025) 
-Calgary Flames finalise new arena deal, 35-year commitment to stay in Calgary

The team looks into the craziness behind the WHL’s recent scandals involving racist coaches, bad team practices and naming a known racist as captain?!?!?!? Yeah The WHL is really out here with this. We’re going to also break down the Eastern Conference as well as the regular season is fast approaching! Will the Leafs finally break through into the Cup final? Is Boston and Tampa finally done? Who will be the dark horse this season? So many questions and more as we look into all 16 East teams as they vie for the right to be Eastern Conference Champion in June. Also, Avry and Troy give us stories from the Legacy Awards including the hilarious red carpet side quests, the LEAFDEM solidify their roster through pre-season Tampa Bay has shaky goaltending (again), Ottawa steals an Oilers  legend for  front office, and so much more! 
AND stay tuned at the end for an exclusive interview with Taos Jordan of Owen Sound Attack! 

In this episode we go over the following... 
Babcock Fallout - is it time for him to ride off into the sunset finally? 
PWHL Draft - big names poppin
Pre season training camp finally kicking off
Maple Leafs finally trying Nylander at 3C, Matthews on PK(?) Nick Robertson - who is making the cut? 
Global Games concluded as of today (don’t mention actual day but still). Is Australia a hockey vibe going forward?Where else should they do these games next
All this and recapping the summer of hockey.
