Episode 340 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features 13-year NHL veteran and second-year Anaheim Ducks goalie coach Peter Budaj. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Budaj takes us through some of the most important lessons -- on and off the ice -- from an NHL career twice derailed with prolonged stints in the AHL, and the transition to coaching. From breaking into pro hockey alongside boyhood idol Patrick Roy, to finding your own game while playing alongside some of the world's best -- his partners included Carey Price, Jonathan Quick and Andrei Vasilevskiy -- the importance of great fitness, and how to succeed in the backup role, Budaj shares several great lessons for goalies of all ages and skill levels.
