In a three-part InGoal Radio interview, Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne discusses the concept of becoming 'fake resistant,' the use of props and trampolines in goalie training, vision training techniques, and what he has learned from teammate Juuse Saros. The conversation was recorded in Vancouver and builds on an earlier sit-down first published in Episode 43.
- Rinne describes the goal of becoming 'fake resistant' — training to avoid biting on deceptive shots and passes.
- Vision training is a key part of Rinne's development approach, used to sharpen puck-tracking and reaction skills.
- Props and trampolines are incorporated into Rinne's on-ice training to improve athletic response and positioning.
- Rinne credits teammate Juuse Saros as a source of learning, highlighting the value of peer development at the NHL level.
- The Gear Segment with Cam covers stick lies and how to handle kids who insist on wearing only their favorite pro's equipment.
In this Episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, we have a three part conversation with Nashville’s Pekka Rinne – becoming “fake resistant”, what he’s learned from Jusse, vision training, props on the ice, trampolines and much more. For our loyal listeners, we begin with a repeat of the short chat we published in episode 43 before continuing on with two more sit downs recently in Vancouver – so if the first few minutes seem familiar – they probably are 🙂
In The Hockey Shop’s Gear Segment we have some more Questions for Cam – stick lies and what to do when your kid only wants the gear their favorite pro wears – and we also talk about some CCM equipment currently on sale at the Hockey Shop.
