Stanley Cup champion Laurent Brossoit makes his Pro Reads debut with a skate-or-slide decision video breakdown from last season with the Golden Knights.
Connor Hellebuyck’s first two entries into Pro Reads have featured 2-on-1 rush chances (and there is third coming soon with a similar theme), in part because the Vezina Trophy winner is statistically the best in the NHL at managing these types of attacks, and by a large margin. With that in mind, we also wanted to share a drill with the Winnipeg Jets star that isolated that type of attack, and Hellebuyck was kind enough to talk about some of his keys to it.
When we introduced James Wendland to our InGoal Premium membership a few weeks ago with “Five damn things to improve hip health (and widen your butterfly),” the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Much like his clients James Reimer and Kristen Campbell, goalies who adopted the simple warm-up routine shared stories of almost immediate improvements.
Now Wendland is back with another ‘Five Damn Things,’ but this time with a specific focus on the foot and ankle - another simple daily practice that will help you become a better goaltender.
You may have seen drills with colored pucks before, but do you understand the science behind them, and how that research can help you get better at tracking pucks? Our latest from Goalie IQ explains it all (and offers up a few more drill variations).
🎤 Episode 224 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Florida Panthers goaltending development coach and Charlotte Checkers goalie coach Leo Luongo.
In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Luongo shares stories and lessons from a 15-year coaching career that took root in the technique and tactics notebooks he kept while he was playing, then started for real in the QMJHL and included three years in Switzerland before spending the past seven with the Panthers. Luongo shares lessons from his Hall of Fame brother Roberto, who currently runs the Florida goaltending department of excellence, and growing up in a a hyper-competitive family, as well as insights from a long list of goalie coaches he's worked with along the way, including Ian Clark, Francois Allaire and Rob Tallas, as well as the important lessons he learned from various head coaches he's worked with over the past decade and a half as a pro.
All that, plus an in-person trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a closer look at the new Hyperlite 2 chest protector, part of a fast-growing list of protective options from Bauer.

🎤 Episode 223 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Buffalo Sabres draft pick Scott Ratzlaff of the WHL's Seattle Thunderbirds.
In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Ratzlaff walks us through the life of a new NHL Draft pick, from the draft to development camp with the Sabres. But perhaps more importantly, he picks up where he left off from a casual conversation at the CHL Top Prospect Game in the spring, with some incredible insights into his game and how it's developed in the face of increasingly skilled offensive attacks that will benefit goalies of all ages. From his stance, to how he sets up to manage attacks from forwards being tight to change the angle, to his mindset tips to manage high pressure situations with good Boyd language, this interview is loaded with great advice for everyone.
All that, plus an in-person trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a closer look at the new CCM EFlex 6 chest protector and how new thermal-regulation features can keep you cooler, and therefore less fatigued and playing better for longer this winter.
