Episode 327 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features another upbeat and informative interview with PWHL Montreal and soon-to-be Olympic goalie Sandra Abstreiter.
In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we catch up with Abstreiter, who did a quick hit on the podcast early last season, to talk about her offseason focus, helping Germany qualify for the upcoming 2026 Olympics with a .967 save percentage, and evolving expectations going into her third PWHL season . We also expanded on some of the stories she shared last time, including starting goalie at 16, being self taught off YouTube, and learning from Ann-Renee Desbiens with the Victoire.
In this week’s Parent Segment, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, we dig into the mailbag to answer questions about gear, technique and dealing with difficult coaches.
We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, we try something a little different by sharing a conversation with all three Seattle Kraken goalies about Montréal Canadiens Sam Montembault saying he can identify the handedness and stick tape color of almost every NHL shooter — how rare is it? Does it help? And what information matters the most when reading a shooter?
