Episode 321 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an inspiring interview with retired PWHL goalie and breast cancer survivor Erica Howe.

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Howe takes us through the "toughest year of her life" after being diagnosed, how the lessons and relationships from a successful puck-stopping career helped her through the ups and downs navigating cancer treatment and the isolation that came with it, and how she's teamed up with October Saves and the Canadian Cancer Society to help others in their battle. Howe also shares some great lessons from an impressive career that included winning the NCAA national championship with Clarkson University, a gold medal with Canada at the under-18 world championships, and two CWHL All Star appearances before her final season with Toronto in the inaugural PWHL season in 2023-24, and some of the most important mental lessons she's now applying in the transitions to coaching. 

This week's Pro Read, presented by Vizual Edge, with Calgary Flames standout Dustin Wolf explaining his positional target preferences and whether or not -- and perhaps more importantly why or why not -- to target the back post on long laterals.

It was a great reminder for parents to look back on an article penned by sports psychologist John Stevenson for InGoal titled "Is Your Phone Costing You Saves?" and we'd highly recommend revisiting those lessons after you listen to this.
