We can’t tell you how David Rittich will fare with the Maple Leafs yet but we can confirm he brought one of the strangest game day rituals we’ve ever seen with him to Toronto and it’s worth a closer look (for fun and as a lesson for all goalies).
When Chris Driedger made what might be the Save of the Year this week, it was also a great example of a practice habit that helped save his career. Driedger shares that advice our latest Pro Tips.

InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports
Episode 115 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Vegas Golden Knights goalie Logan Thompson, who is dominating his first season in the American Hockey League just two years after playing Canadian University hockey for Brock University.
In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, we hear from the undrafted 6-foot-4 lefty who is 14-4-0 with a.944 save percentage for the first-year Henderson Silver Knights, and recently spent time up with the Golden Knights, making a perfect-but-brief NHL debut in relief of Marc-Andre Fleury. Thompson talks about his time in Vegas, lessons from Fleury, what he learned from three seasons in the Western Hockey League, and why he needed to rediscover his love for the game after that time ended without the pro opportunities he'd always dreamed of. All that, plus thoughts on his sick new silver Bauer UltraSonic set up, in the latest InGoal Radio Podcast.

Michaud was kind enough to share videos of some of the drills that Swayman credits.
