🎤 Episode 225 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the first goaltender selected in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and winner of the Top Goaltender award at the 2023 World Junior Championship, Adam Gajan.
In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, the Chicago Blackhawks second round pick talks about his experience from being left off the Slovakian World Junior Roster to becoming a late addition as third goaltender to unlikely hero, defeating the United States and taking fellow Blackhawks draft pick Connor Bedard and the Canadians in a 57-shot overtime game, that Bedard ultimately ended. We learn how Gajan came to playoff Chippewa of the NAHL, to developing his elite puckhandling skills and the coach that enabled it, and how he handled the big-game pressure with a humble confidence.
All that, plus an in-person trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports where we look at CCM’s new EFlex 6 skate, what sets it apart from other models and why it’s worth considering for your next purchase even as other skates on the market garner considerable attention.
In this episode we mentioned Gajan's elite puckhandling skills. Check out this highlight video to see them on display - then go listen to the episode to learn the unusual opportunity he was given to develop them!

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).
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.
Watch and Listen as Vancouver Canucks goalie coach Ian Clark talks about his 7 Keys to Elite Goaltending as part of a nearly hour-long Q&A at The Hockey Shop's Tendyfest.
