🎤 Episode 158 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a long chat with recently re-signed Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Joseph Woll.
In that feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Woll talks about his path from minor hockey in St. Louis to making his NHL debut this season, how his game has evolved in the Maple Leafs organization, and how he managed his nerves and calmed his mind during a successful four-game stint in the NHL that finished 3-1-0 with one shutout and a.911 save percentage. The 23-year-old also shares insights into his time with the US National Team Development program and the special bond between USA Hockey alumni through its 51 in 30 program, as well as the pressure of playing at a goalie factory like Boston College. The interview is loaded with insights sure to help young goalies, parents and even coaches.
All that, plus a return trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for some advice from Cam on how best to break in a new glove, some tips on fixing a break gone wrong, and a low-cost product that can help extend the life and protection of your favourite mitt.
