Do you love gear? Of course you do - you're a goaltender!
Every week the InGoal Radio Podcast features a gear segment helping you learn more about the gear we wear - from the latest release of a new line, to how to fit the gear whether for your next ice time or in store when picking out your latest purchase.
Those gear segments are published on YouTube each week as well, often with additional looks at what we talk about on the show.
Last week Woody and Cam looked at how different brands and models within brands are sized - you may be surprised to hear that not all 34" pads fit the same.
🎥 NEW in Pro-Drills: Part 2 in our series of movement drills from Sabres Development Coach Seamus Kotyk inspired by legendary coach Warren Strelow and demonstrated by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, the 1-2 Post-to-Post drill is getting Luukkonen more comfortable -- and quicker -- moving from being outside his post, to getting back inside that post and across to the other one.
🎥 This week in Pro-Reads @mcelhinney_c30 sharing tips on managing breakaways off the wing, when to overplay the short side, and the importance of smaller pushes and stick discipline.
InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports
🎤 Episode 163 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features San Jose Sharks goalie Zach Sawchenko on his fascinating path to the NHL.
In that feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Sawchenko walks us through his journey from going undrafted out of the WHL (a surprise to many, including here at InGoal), and seemingly walking away from pro hockey to go to school and play at the University of Alberta, to signing quirk the Sharks and making his NHL debut this season, including his first win a couple weeks ago against Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings. It's been a fascinating journey for Sawchenko, one filled with lessons that the 24-year-old Calgary native shares openly in this extensive interview about his transition to the top.
All that, plus a trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports to look at how different brands of pads fit different even when they're all listed as the same size. Sometimes there are even differences from one model to the next in the sae brand, and Cam explains it all.
