Episode 358 New York Islanders prospect Josh Kotai Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

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.
