    Episode 343: Top Women's Goalie of the 2026 Olympics, Switzerland's Andrea Braendli.

    Episode 343 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the Top Women's Goalie of the 2026 Olympics, Switzerland's Andrea Braendli.  In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Braendli discusses backstopping the Swiss women to just their second ever bronze medal in Milan with a 2-1 overtime win over Sweden after a series of 40-plus save performances just to get to the medal games. The 28-year-old shares stories and advice from her roots in the game playing mostly against boys growing up in Switzerland, and how she ended up winning a NCAA national championship at Ohio State before heading back overseas to play in Sweden, where she was named the league's top goalie. She talks technique, tactics and how to adjust to new coaching voices, including why some of her worst goalie coaches ended up being her best.  In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about metrics and how to use (or better yet ignore) them, while also somewhat irincally introducing a new, free shot-tracking application developed by InGoal. We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Alex Lyon with some great advice on managing rush depth, and when to let go and just play on instinct.  And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at CCM's Phenom chest protector, which shrinks pro-level protection into a mobile unit for kids.

    Episode 340: Peter Budaj

    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.  In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we dig into the potential dangers of statements like "you can do anything you put your mind to" for young goalies.

    Episode 339: Jacob Fowler

    Episode 339 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a fantastic interview with top Montreal Canadiens puck-stopping prospect Jacob Fowler (and a couple shorter chats with southpaw Andrei Vasilevskiy, fellow fighter Alex Nedeljkovic and veteran Jake Allen). In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we catch up with Fowler shortly after returning to Laval of the AHL following his first big stint up with the Canadiens and get to know the 21-year-old and his unique path to pro, including growing in a non-traditional hockey market in Florida, long drives to the rink that reminded us of Carey Price's early years (minus the plane), and playing a wide variety of sports long after many of his peers were specializing in one. A gold medal winner at the World Junior A Championships and World Junior Championships, a USHL champion, MVP and top goalie, and a two-year standout at Boston College, including winning the Mike Richter Award as the top goalie in the NCAA, this is a can't miss get-to-know-Fowler interview. In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we follow up last week's conversation about how to handle vague critiques with a longer look at how to help your young goalie engage in conversations with their coaches -- with or without you, depending on age. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Dustin Wolf of the Calgary Flames explaining post-exit options, as well as his keys to shifts off screen shots. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports to continue our look at the new Vaughn Ion line, this time with a closer look at their latest chest protector.

In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about helping young goalies learn to deal with vague criticism from coaches, including comments about work ethic.

    Episode 337: Connor Ungar and Matt Tomkins

    Episode 337 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a pair of Edmonton Oilers prospects with great stories to share: the debut of Connor Ungar and the return of Matt Tomkins.   In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we start with Ungar sharing lessons from one of the most unique seasons in recent memory. He has played for three different teams in the ECHL before getting called up to the American Hockey League and somehow posting an 11-1-4 record with a save percentage north of .944 for all four teams, including 6-0-0 with a .955 right now in Bakersfield. And it's all come as an undrafted free agent who spent a season at Brock University (not unlike Logan Thompson) after playing four seasons in the CHL. Speaking of unconventional paths, we also catch up with Tomkins, who went from two seasons in Sweden to his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning before signing with his hometown Oilers this summer, and continues to show he's capable of playing at the highest level all while openly sharing lessons learned along the way. That includes offseason time with osteopath James Wendland, whose popular training tips have been featured regularly at InGoal Magazine. In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about the risk of always comparing your child's path in this position to what others are doing, especially when it comes time to make Spring Hockey choices.  We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Jet Greaves of the Columbus Blue Jackets with some great depth advice on even-man rush chances, and how you should adjust if it breaks down in tight.  And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Vaughn Ion pads and gloves already being worn by Calvin Pickard of the Oilers in the NHL and available now in store and online.

    Episode 336: Celebrate the life of Glenn Hall

    Episode 336 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, celebrates the life of Glenn Hall, the Hockey Hall of Fame goalie who passed away this week at age 94.  In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we flash back to 2019, when InGoal had a chance to sit down with one of the greatest to ever strap on the pads, Mr. Goalie himself, in his living room, sharing a few beverages and a lot of great stories. From the well known NHL record 502 consecutive games played and being a butterfly pioneer despite never wearing a mask, to lesser knowns tales and teammates, this can't miss interview with Hall will leave you smiling. In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about the importance of preparation through a different lens of when too much -- or the wrong type -- does more harm than good.  We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Matt Murray breaking down video of a 2-on-1 and explaining how the bus shot-or-pass read is often based on your own defense.  And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for look at a special NHL chest protector you can only buy from them: A Bauer Pro model worn by Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jacob Fowler.
