    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.

    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. You can contact Mike Condon, M.Ed, through Condon Performance Consulting, LLC at mike@condonperformanceconsulting.com or check out his website at condonperformanceconsulting.com In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we check in with another old friend, Josh Tucker of True Focus Vision, for 5 things every parent needs to know about vision.

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.

    Episode 359 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Montreal Victoire goaltending coach and PWHL champion Bruno-Pierre Guillemette. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Guillemette shares lessons from his work with Victoire goalies, including tips for managing three and the importance of adapting to their unique skillsets and preferences, working with Ann-Renne Desbiens during one of the greatest seasons ever, and their path to a Walter Cup championship. He also has great stories and advice from his very unique path to coaching pro, which included switching from goalie to high-level golf at age 13, rediscovering the position while working at a sporting goods store a decade later, and a lot of self-teaching as he worked his way up from coaching youth hockey. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we remind everyone to take a step back and remember that the best part of this journey often isn't the hockey itself. We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie of the Winnipeg Jets and a great breakdown of post play decisions and managing depth on pop passes.

    Episode 358 New York Islanders prospect Josh Kotai

    Episode 358 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features recently signed New York Islanders prospect Josh Kotai. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Kotai shares valuable insights from a unique path to signing with the Islanders this spring -- and making his pro debut in the AHL -- after two exceptional NCAA seasons at Augustana University, where he was a Mike Richter Award finalist this season as the top goalie in college hockey (among many accolades and awards). It wasn't a straight line to an NHL contract for Kotai, who payed junior in Vermont and North Battleford, Saskatchewan before getting a chance to play college hockey, but it is loaded with incredible stories and lessons, including the most unique right-catch origin stories we've ever heard. Kotai also talks about growing up in a family of passionate goalies, with his dad, Alex, coming back to the game as a self-taught adult to become the Vancouver Canucks practice goalie and his personal coach, and younger brother Nick also playing the position, while other younger brother Reilley is a forward at Northern Michigan. This really is a can't miss interview. Speaking of undrafted goalies, in the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about not getting caught up in other people's timelines during drafts, something that is important to remember for parents and young goalies, and driven home by the success of goalies like Kotai and Stanley Cup winner Brandon Bussi of the Carolina Hurricanes. Speaking of Bussi, he's back for a second straight Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, to celebrate his success as he breaks down a double-lateral attack from his first NHL game. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Bauer Fuze chest protector, which is now also available in a women's specific model.

The 31-year-old was already the top goalie in Germany's top league, the DEL, in 2023 and has played in Sweden's top-level SHL and Finland's elite Liiga during an impressive pro career in Europe, and shares advice from his path in pro and insights into Norway's unique sporting structure and the evolving state of the game -- and goaltending -- in his native country. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about importance of goalie parents taking time for their own mental and physical health, possibly while loosening the leash on how closely you watch your young goalie, and how that can benefit both of you.  We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring freshly minted Stanley Cup champion Brandon Bussi with a greta breakdown on managing plays from behind the net.  And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, or a look at the new True Catalyst Nitro pads and gloves and how it compares with other levels in that lineup.
