Episode 319 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the return of Swedish goalie coach Maciej Szwoch and a deep dive into his research attempting to measure success when it comes to drafting and developing goalies into the NHL. 

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Szwoch, who last joined us after helping Farjestad win the Swedish Hockey League championship, walks us through his study exploring the drafting and development of goaltenders into the NHL between 2015 and 2025. He explains how he used data from 322 goalies affiliated with NHL organizations to evaluate draft success by comparing invested value with actual return, measured in games played and trade value, while also investigating geographic and organizational trends in selection and development. 

In addition to our podcast conversation with Swedish goalie coach Maciej Szwoch, he also allowed InGoal to publish his study into the past 10 years of NHL drafting and development. Can we measure what teams are doing best? What countries are producing most? Does height matter? What about GP before turning pro?
