The team has a new coach, four new players and will be without their star goal attack, Silver Ferns captain Ameliaranne Ekenasio for the foreseable future as she takes time away from the game due to exhaustion.
Ekenasio missed last month s pre-season tournament and had not been training with the Pulse ahead of the season opener.
Pulse CEO Fran Scholey said the past 18 months had taken a toll on Ekenasio.
