If NHL teams are ever going to widely adopt a practice goalie to ease workload on their No. 1, this season could provide the impetus thanks to mandatory presence of a third goalie on every team. So how are they being used so far?
InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports
Episode 104 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an hour with Devan Dubnyk of the San Jose Sharks as well as a look at the Warrior V1 sticks in our gear segment.
In that feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Dubnyk reveals himself to be one of the most well-thought goaltenders in the game as he shares everything from his beginnings in the game to look at a number of the technical foundations to his game to the importance of spending time with the game’s youngest fans, including a look at his childhood hero who he finally met as a pro.
The feature interview of each podcast is presented by Sense Arena, a new Virtual Reality training tool for goaltenders of all ages.
Like Devon Levi we found it an outstanding preparation for going on the ice with one of our testers saying "it's like having a cheat code when you hit the ice."
All that, plus another trip to The Hockey Shop for Woody and Cam’s look at at the entire line of Warrior V1 sticks which are on sale now at the Hockey Shop with some huge savings.
You can hear it all on the podcast but we suggest you check out the video simulcast version for better visuals on the sticks - and a chance to see Cam’s muffin of a shot up close.
