    Jean-Francois Berube: Making a Three-Goalie System Work in the NHL (Ep. 367)

    Episode 367 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features former NHL goalie and current Anaheim Jr. Ducks goalie coach Jean-Francois Berube. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Berube shares valuable insights from a 12-year pro career that included time with the New York Islanders, Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets, including being a mentor to Jet Greaves (per Greaves), and how he managed a three-goalie system with the Islanders long before they became common. That last one is great advice for goalies and coaches facing the same in today's NHL, and is just one of many examples of the lessons from the pro career, including learning from coaches, playing partners, and even this podcast, that make this a can't-miss interview with a true student of the position. In the latest Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch explains why mindset can be a goaltending superpower and how you can help your young goalie build it -- and with it, a positive identity. We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Dustin Wolf with more advice on plays behind the net, and a continuation of his evolution in managing them. And in our weekly gear segment we look at the True Catalyst 5X6 line -- the cheapest option available at The Hockey Shop Source for Sports -- but we explain why they're not cheap on feel or value.

    Brad Fogal: From NCAA Goalie to PWHL, OHL and Team Canada Coach (Ep. 366)

    Episode 366 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an information-packed interview with PWHL, OHL, and Hockey Canada goalie coach Brad Fogal. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Fogal, who also runs the Goalie Training Institute in Ontario, walks us through his unique path to NCAA and minor pro hockey before becoming a full-time coach, and how it informs his work now on the other side of the whistle. We caught up with Fogal while he was working with Team Canada's under-18 women's team, but he also works with PWHL Toronto and has been in the OHL with Owen Sound, and he shared advice on the importance of building a foundation -- and what that looks like at different ages -- consistent terminology, the biomechanics of good movement, adding game realism and decision-making to drills, working with multiple goalies and so much more. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch welcomes you to the Goalie (Parent) Union with his top-10 tips (actually top-11, with a bonus) for new goalie parents going into their first season. We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie with a great breakdown of a late-game 6-on-5 and how to manage movement patterns and read releases even when you get a little behind a play, with a hat tip to Connor Hellebuyck for some of the advice he shares. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the Vaughn Ion Pro pads and gloves, which, counter to the name, is actually a second price-point line that still comes with plenty of top-end features.

    Johnny Hicks: From the Bench to NCAA Champion and Frozen Four MVP (Ep. 365)

    Episode 365 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a great interview with NCAA champion and Frozen Four MVP Johnny Hicks. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Hicks walks us through the preparation and process that allowed him to mostly sit for half a season, then come off the bench and go 16-0-1 and set an NCAA record with a .957 save percentage before backstopping the University of Denver to a National Championship with a .955 save percentage in the playoffs. It's a great story made all the more remarkable by his unique path, from a winless first season in the BCHL, to a powerhouse team in the AJHL — and the unique lessons from both stops — then the WHL for one year before going to school. Add in an invite to the Edmonton Oilers development camp this summer for the undrafted Hicks and it really is a can't miss interview. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch talks about preparing for the fast approaching season and why chasing late extra reps before tryouts and training camps can often do more harm than good, both between the pipes and between the ears. We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Dustin Wolf with a quick but important breakdown on when to use RVH and when to hold your feet on passes from below the goal line, something that's been a theme in a lot of recent Pro Reads. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Bauer Supreme F50 Pro, a second-price point stick loaded with top-level options, including one never before offered by Bauer at anything other than the highest prices.

    Strauss Mann: The US Olympian Who Rediscovered His Passion for the Game in Europe (Ep. 364)

    Episode 364 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a can't-miss interview with Swedish pro and former U.S. Olympian Strauss Mann. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Mann, a former University of Michigan standout, takes us through the ups and downs of his first four years of pro hockey since the Olympics. From struggling with situations beyond his control that limited opportunities in North America, to rediscovering his passion for the game in Europe and setting top Swedish League shutout records and winning a championship last season, the lessons Mann shares from his journey really are can't-miss for goalies, coaches and parents. They include a strong focus on meditation, and advice on how to make it a valuable tool, which in part led to a new venture off the ice called Haus (buildyourhaus.com) that offers mentorship and coaching circles as well as 1-on-1 work, not just for goalies but for their parents too, as well as a team-focused five-part speaker series this season of virtual and asynchronous workshops from world-class coaches in performance and personal development. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch shares key lessons and takeaways from the parent perspective from InGoal's trip to the 2026 USA Hockey Goaltending Symposium in Boston. We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie breaking down the keys to knowing when to attack and when to sit back on an open look off the rush. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Warrior Alpha Surge S50, a lower price point version of the all new Surge pad with lots of the same features and a slightly softer flex profile.

    Robbie Beydoun: He Walked Away From Pro Hockey — Now He Trains NHL Goalies' Eyes (Ep. 363)

    Episode 363 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the fascinating journey of former NCAA goalie turned vision specialist and sometimes NHL practice goalie, Robbie Beydoun. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Beydoun shares stories from a unique path to college hockey that included graduating in 3 years from Michigan Tech, transferring (long before there was a portal) to Wisconsin to play his final year on a team with Cole Caufield and Dylan Holloway, then turning pro, winning in the AHL and going 7-3 in the ECHL with a save percentage of .920 or better, then walking away — at least from playing professionally. Along the way, Beydoun, who still puts on the pads to practice with his hometown Minnesota Wild, had a breakthrough using Vizual Edge, and now he helps goalies see pucks better in his work with the company, a journey that includes working with Jordan Binnington, Jeremy Swayman, Joseph Woll and more. It's a great story that comes with an added bonus: 50% off the first 3 months to try Vizual Edge as a new user in August using the code IGFALL50. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we cover 7 tips for helping your goaltender improve their puck handling. In that segment we reference an article at InGoalMag.com on improving your shooting strength from Maria Mountain. We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie with a smart breakdown on managing depth on the penalty kill and the importance of not overcommitting positionally to non-shooting threats, even NHL All-Stars with 358 career goals. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new CCM Tacks goal skates, with a forward pitch more comparable to Bauer and lots of great new features that have made them a hit with our testers and PWHL star Ann-Renee Desbiens.

    Mike Condon: Mastering the Goalie Mental Game (Ep. 360)

    Episode 360 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the return of former NHL goalie and NCAA goalie coach Mike Condon, who went back to school to get his Masters Degree studying psychology and is now combining his education and real-world experience to help other goalies manage their mindset. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Condon shares stories, examples and insights into his ongoing quest to help goalies right up to pro better manage their mental game, starting with a great explanation of what exactly that is, and why defining it matters. Condon, who was recently at the Montreal Canadiens development camp as a coach, talks about self talk, the importance of daily deliberate detachment, fear and the rise in concerns over hockey mortality for young goalies facing a fast-shifting junior and college environment. All that, plus advice for coaches on managing goalie personalities, in a can't miss, hour-long interview.

And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new CCM Pro Pant, an NHL-approved spec with retail add ons never before available to the public.
