Feature Interview
presented by NHL Sense Arena
In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Daccord shares several great insights about life as a goalie parent, and the inspiration for the book after watching son Joey play his first NHL with the Ottawa Senators. Daccord talked to other parents of NHL goalies about their path as a goalie parent too, and shares those anecdotes, but most compelling may be the situation advice: Where to sit in the rink, how to engage and act with other parents and whether you should coach on the car ride home. The answer to that last one may surprise some of you, but the reasons for it are compelling. Daccord, who owns and runs Stop It Goaltending schools, also shares insights into his new Game Day App, which is designed to allow parents and coaches to better track games and contextualize success by properly accounting for shot quality and rebound control, as well as his work as a consultant with Sense Arena and some exciting teases about what’s to come in the virtual reality world, and explains his decision to leave the Arizona Coyotes.
