299 Parents: A Cooking and Nutrition Challenge for Goalies and their Parents

Those are the clean pants. Stop It Goaltending U, the app parent segment with David Hutchison coming up before we hear from Stop It Goal Tending U.

Yeah. We talk a lot about all the new content every week at Stop It Goaltending U. Daily primers this week with Brian Daccord on becoming an ethical goalie. So really interesting five part series and a reminder that every week with the Stop It Goaltending U app, you get five one minute primers every day. Just a quick sorta watch the video in one minute, take it with you, keep yourself sort of constantly learning, little mindset tips, little tricks that Brian's learned and Brian and his staff have learned over the years.

We've also got a video breaking down the frozen four goalies from the NCAA championship over the last weekend and a drill of the week one v one rushes with a cut into the middle. So they walk you through a drill diagram. They've got examples from the NHL of those types of scoring chances and provide a few tips. That's a great one for coaches and goalies alike. You can take it onto the ice this summer.

The Stop It Goaltending U app brings you twenty five years of Stop It's goaltending experience into a nice, easy to digest format. Like I said, you wanna spend one minute each day on the primers, you do that. You wanna deep dive a little bit and watch other goalies and break down how they play, see how it can apply to your game. You can do that with a weekly video, and they've had drills, fresh drills each of the last two weeks. So more of those coming on the Stop It Goaltending U app.

And as I tell you every week, not only do you get all that great content on their app, you get access and an InGoal premium membership. So the best of theirs, the best of ours combined from one monthly fee included in your Stop It Goaltending U membership, a membership to InGoal Magazine premium. The best of both worlds for goaltenders. Hutch.

That's another thing that I look for in the in the audio track of the broadcast. I see Daren's three, two, one, and I know it's time to start the parent segment when I look at it because I see that one little peek. Hutch. I could jump in before it, but now I sit and wait for it because it makes me just feel special, Daren. You wanted us to start a vlog of our trip across Western Canada to Calgary and now maybe we need to start a show in the kitchen because of today's parent segment.

We've talked before about helping your young goalie develop independence, not just to grow as an athlete, but to thrive in life. This week, I wanted to be just a little bit more specific, once again by listening to our featured guest. As you will hear and, many of our past guests have shared, the jump from junior to pro is a huge one. And one of the biggest adjustments is simply having to look after yourself. There's no more billets.

There's no more parents. There's no dorm cafeterias to help you out. Now it's time for shopping, paying bills, cooking, often for the first time for a lot of these guys. But the truth is learning these skills even earlier can pay off. So this week, parents, I have some homework for you.

Teach your child to cook something. Of course, keep it age appropriate. I'm not suggesting your seven year old goalie go fire up the barbecue or play unsupervised in the kitchen, but do make sure that little Johnny or Susie is one step closer to being able to take care of themselves. Maybe they'll end up with a billet family that only cooks dinner for them and they'll have to make their own breakfast and lunch. That happens a lot.

Maybe mom and dad are having to race home from work to get to the evening practice and if they can look after themselves a little bit better in the kitchen, they'll be able to eat healthy and prepare themselves for hockey and not just the quick convenience meals that a lot of us are forced to use. It's easier and often faster, of course, just to do it for our kids and we all do that. But take this week please just to, pass on one skill. Teach your goalie to cook a hot breakfast, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, something nice and easy instead of just toast and cereal this time. Show them how to make a smoothie maybe with some fruit, yogurt, maybe a scoop of protein powder.

For the older kids, maybe teach them how to make their favorite pregame meal. Something that one day they're gonna have to make on their own before they head to the rink. I think we had we need to face it, guys. Whether your goalie is away from home or just managing a busy schedule at home, getting the right fuel is really important and it's not always easy. So just like you give them the tools to succeed on the ice, this week I wanna see you all give them the tools to succeed off the ice as well.

It's a pretty rewarding feeling to get the message from your child to say they've just stopped at the grocery store, grabbed what they needed, and cooked their own healthy meal before heading to the rink. So what's on the menu this week for you and your goalie? Let me know. parents@ingoalmag.com.

You remember the first meal you learned how to make? Like, where you felt like a grown up?

No. And that's probably why I still don't cook.

You I feel like it's I feel like it's probably scrambled eggs as a youngster.

That's a good one. Mine was grilled cheese. Oh. Just just the idea of of putting something on there and cooking it and flipping it over and and being able to actually eat it. And I know I realize it's not a meal, like like, it's not like cooking a steak, but when you're 14 or 15, that was a heck of an accomplishment.

Well, and it's so easy to screw those up because you can't see them burning on the bottom.

Yes. Yeah.

Listen. I I feel like everybody had that, like, probably a lot of people, it's like pancakes were a big one. Right? Yeah. Like, mixing the batter, you know, whether it was a dad or with a grandpa or mom or I feel like pancakes.

I I probably the only thing I make, which probably, again, speaks to the fact that I can't cook.

First meal you ever made, send it into us. Alright. I'm I'm curious. Or the first grown up meal. Grown up.

You feel it.

Pancakes are grown up.

I don't Kraft dinner, don't put in Kraft dinner. That doesn't count. I

That's not what we mean by a

healthy meal. Screwed up Kraft dinner the first time. So I'm embarrassed to tell you that.

I screwed it up for a giant group. We had about 15 or 20 people on a camping trip and I was left to make the Kraft dinner. Oh. And I read boil it for eight minutes. So I put it all in the water and then I let the water boil and then I left it for eight minutes.

So it had been in there for probably twenty and it was just the worst mush ever. Now I never use the clock I always taste.

First meal that you remember making. Hutch, where do the people send that to you?
