“Same pattern for him for the past eight years. That’s a perfect warm up for him.” Canadiens goalie coach Stephane Waite walks you through video of Carey Price’s game-day warm up in the latest Pro Tips, live at InGoalMag.com and exclusive to Premium Members.
We know Jake Allen is already busy racking up Ws with the Montreal Canadiens and we’ve got fresh Pro Reads coming with his sweet new Habs set up, but his insights have been so good we didn’t want to waste any left overs from last season in St. Louis, like the latest one with VH and RVH use in same PK sequence.
InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports
Episode 105 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features freshly retired Jimmy Howard talking about his 14-year career with the Detroit Red Wings, and an in-depth look at neck guards.
In that feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Howard shares some of his best — and worst (*cough, Mike Babcock making the backup goalie charts face-offs*) — memories from a career that finished as the all-time leader in saves made (13,970) for the Detroit Red Wings, a remarkable achievement on an original-six franchise. Howard shares stories and lessons from starting his NHL career on a team loaded with future Hall of Fame players, including Dominik Hasek, valuable tips from the various mentors and coaches that shaped his style and preparation, and insights into a late-career evolution from one of the League’s most aggressive goalies to playing connected to his crease.
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."
In this week's trip to The Hockey Shop, Woody and Cam look at the wide range of fits, styles and certification levels of their neck guard inventory (and of course you can still use INGOAL20 code at checkout to save 20%).
You can hear it all on the podcast but we suggest you check out the video simulcast version for better visuals of how each model fits.

Connor Hellebuyck shares how he analyzes his own game compared to the game going on around him, and how others play it, and the way all that has evolved in our latest except from the new book, The Power Within II, by former Dallas Stars goalie coach Mike Valley + @thegoalieguild
You can order your copy of this great new book for goalies, which is loaded with ways to improve your mindset + mental game from goalies like Robin Lehner, Pavel Francouz, Connor Hellebuyck, Eddie Lack, Jake Oettinger, Cal Petersen + Noora Räty, and coaches like Tallas, Thomas Speer and William Rahm.
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?
New Pro Drills is live featuring videos of Jake Allen and Charlie Lindgren working on a simple breakaway routine last week, and Canadiens goalie coach Stéphane Waite weighing in with some keys (plus additional thoughts from Allen).
