    Episode 351 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, starts with an emotional tribute to goalie, broadcaster and friend John Garrett, who passed away suddenly, and concludes with an interview with Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Gabriel Daigle.  In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Daigle shares stories and lessons from a somewhat unique path to pro hockey, including time spent training with hometown hero Marc-Andre Fleury, and insights into a bounce back season with Victoriaville in the QMJHL that led to signing with the Penguins and making his pro debut in the ECHL this season. We also get into some of the foundation he's built with long-time coach Marco Raimondo in his native Quebec and some of the early adjustments to pro hockey with Penguins development coach Karel Popper. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we present an offseason reality check for equipment shopping and the importance of knowing when "pro level" gear might not just be overkill financially, but could also do more harm than good to a young goalie. We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Frederik Andersen of the Carolina Hurricanes breaking down a situation every beer leaguer can relate to: a 2-on-0! And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at the new CCM Pro Tacks pads, gloves and blocker to dig into some of the big changes in the new line.
