Feature Interview
presented by NHL Sense Arena
In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Beydoun shares stories from a unique path to college hockey that included graduating in 3 years from Michigan Tech, transferring (long before there was a portal) to Wisconsin to play his final year on a team with Cole Caufield and Dylan Holloway, then turning pro, winning in the AHL and going 7-3 in the ECHL with a save percentage of .920 or better, then walking away — at least from playing professionally. Along the way, Beydoun, who still puts on the pads to practice with his hometown Minnesota Wild, had a breakthrough using Vizual Edge, and now he helps goalies see pucks better in his work with the company, a journey that includes working with Jordan Binnington, Jeremy Swayman, Joseph Woll and more. It’s a great story that comes with an added bonus: 50% off the first 3 months to try Vizual Edge as a new user in August using the code IGFALL50.
