Episode 286 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features two great PWHL interviews: Carly Jackson of the Toronto Sceptres and Sandra Abstreiter of the Montreal Victoire.
Feature Interview
presented by NHL Sense Arena
In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, we get two different perspectives on — and paths to — playing in the PWHL from Abstreiter, who is from Germany and did not start playing goal until she was 15 years old (!!!), and Jackson, who last appeared on InGoal Radio after winning the final PHF championship with the Toronto Six. The interviews are loaded with great stories, anecdotes and advice from both goalies on everything from mindset to technique, including a great discussion with Jackson on how her game — and in particular, her stance — has evolved in a season and a half since that championship, and how those changes have been fuelled not only by new coaching voices but also the importance of learning from new playing partners.
