Episode 133 with Drew MacIntyre featuring the Warrior RX3 Pro and Pro+ Chest Protectors Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

Episode 133 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features new Winnipeg Jets goalie development coach Drew MacIntyre.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, MacIntyre shares some incredible stories from an 18-season professional career that included NHL stops with the Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs as well as time with 17 other pro teams in eight leagues and countries, including finishing with three years in Asia.

In addition to working with and learning from an incredible list of teammates and goalie coaches, Macintyre was also the reason cat-eye cages are no longer allowed in the CHL, and once scored a game-winning goal in overtime with the butt end of his stick. Add in some lessons between the pipes and between the ears that can help every goalie, goalie coach and goalie parent and you'll quickly understand why the Jets tabbed him for a coaching job so soon after his playing career ended, and why this is another can't miss episode.

We also take a trip to The Hockey Shop for a get complete rundown from Cam on two new chest protector options from Warrior, the Ritual X3 Pro and Ritual X3 Pro+.

Episode 132 with Anders Nilsson featuring the Vaughn V9 with Retro Graphics Aug 15, 2021

Show notes

Episode 132 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a lengthy interview with recently retired NHL goalie Anders Nilsson.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Nilsson talks about the slow recovery from a concussion and neck injuries that have kept him off the ice since December 2019, and ultimately forced him to call it a career after seven NHL seasons -- and a one-year interlude in the KHL -- with the New York Islanders, Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators. Nilsson shares several great stories and lessons from his path to -- and through -- professional hockey, including learning reverse-VH while playing for Lulea in Sweden (which won't be a surprise to anyone who has read our story about the invention of the technique over there) only to be told by the Islanders goalie coaches in 2011 that it would never work in the NHL. Yikes.

Nilsson was also candid about his career getting kickstarted by access to better coaching and development resources in the KHL in 2014-15 than he'd been getting in the NHL up to that point. Add in a frank discussion on dark versus white equipment and his sick Brian's Beast gear at the end of his career, and this is a can't miss interview.

Speaking of great graphics, we also take a trip to The Hockey Shop to check out some sweet throwback looks now available on Vaughn's V9 line without having to make a custom order.

Episode 131 with Jhonas Enroth featuring Brian's Optik Double Cups Aug 07, 2021

Show notes

Episode 130 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, Episode 131 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a lengthy interview with Jonas Enroth as he begins his 15th professional season in a career that included eight in the NHL.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Enroth talks about his evolution from those early days in Sweden, to being drafted by the Buffalo Sabres and learning from Jim Corsi and with Ryan Miller, to his return to Europe after eight years with the Sabres, Dallas Stars, Los Aneles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs. Currently playing for Örebro HK in the Swedish Hockey League, Enroth shares some great lessons on succeeding as a 5-foot-10 goalie in today's game, how he still tries to learn from watching other NHL goalies even after 15 years (and who he likes to watch), the differences in coaching and style in Sweden compared to North America, and a great story about how he tried to get ahead of the reverse-VH curve when he was in the NHL by reaching out to Swedish coaches, who as we know led the way inventing the technique.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop to for a fun fashion show with Cam that includes camouflage, animal print and even some snakeskin, with era-appropriate theme music to match Woody's glam rock era haircut! You'll have to listen or watch the video to find out what piece of gear this applies to.

Episode 130 with Brian Elliott Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

Episode 130 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features newly signed Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Brian Elliott.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Elliott walks us through the free agency process that resulted in him signing with the two time Stanley Cup Champions, as well as walk through on an already fascinating career. From undrafted in the OHL to drafted in the NHL out of tier-2 junior in just one season, to starring at the University of Wisconsin playing a style in which he purposely DID NOT square on the puck or shooter, to having to totally re-invent his style while playing pro, to NHL All Star Games and being one of just 76 goalies in the history of the league to play 500 games, it's been a remarkable journey full of lessons that Elliott shares with us.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop to talk about their incredible Back to Hockey Sale, including some 2-for-1 sticks and half off pads!

Show notes

Episode 129 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Jesper Wallstedt, the top-ranked goalie for the 2021 NHL Draft and the youngest ever to play in the Sweden's top pro league.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, we talk to Wallstedt about his roots in the game and development path in Sweden, including the influence of Lulea goalie coach Linda Blomquist, who many InGoal Premium Members will remember from our article on Sweden inventing the RVH, or SMS as it's called over there. Wallstedt talks about the importance of playing out longer than most before committing to goalie full time at 12, and the influence of studying goalies from not only the NHL, but SHL and KHL too.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop to talk about the new Warrior neck guard, which reminded us of the famed Maltese models.

Episode 128 with Dylan Ferguson featuring the Bauer protective line Jul 17, 2021

Show notes

Episode 128 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features recently crowned Kelly Cup champion and Vegas Golden Knights goaltending prospect Dylan Ferguson.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Ferguson shares plenty of stories from an unusual past year and a half that included everything from being at the outdoor game in Lake Tahoe with the Golden Knights — and what he learned from Vezina Trophy winner Marc-Andre Fleury — to his first shutout in the American Hockey League, to a .920 save percentage and then a championship run with the Fort Wayne Komets in the ECHL. Ferguson, who made his NHL debut as a 19-year-old emergency call up way back in 2017-18, also shares a lot of great advice on how to manage your game and mind during the game that goalies and goalie parents of all ages can use to help them.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop to talk about the new Bauer protective line -- neck guards, goalie jocks and kneepads — with Cam.

Episode 127 with Brad Thiessen featuring the Warrior V2 line of sticks Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

This episode was recorded prior to the tragic passing of goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks and is dedicated to his memory.

Episode 127 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features new Columbus Blue Jackets goaltending development coach Brad Thiessen.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, we hear how Thiessen took the job just a few weeks after announcing his retirement from a 12-season pro career, but the 35-year-old had already been working as a player-coach (think Reg Dunlop with goalie pads) for the Cleveland Monsters, the Blue Jackets' American Hockey League affiliate, for a couple of seasons. It's a unique route to coaching, one that started with numerous great examples from big-name goalie coaches that guided his own path through pro hockey, and Thiessen shares several stories and lessons from all sides of that journey.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop (where Thiessen remembers buying his first set of goalie gear) to talk about the new Warrior Ritual V2 stick line -- and huge savings on remaining inventory (and they've got lots) of the Ritual V1 line that it replaces.

Show notes

Episode 124 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an in-depth conversation with Jeff Glass, the former World Junior Championship gold medal winner who took a 7-year detour through Russia before making his NHL debut 13 years after being drafted and began a transition into coaching while playing with the Anaheim Ducks' AHL affiliate in San Diego last season.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Glass shares his unique path from junior hockey stardom and being a third round pick of the Ottawa Senators, to starting in the ECHL before choosing to go overseas, and how representing Canada while playing in Russia ultimately led him back to give the NHL one more shot. He tells us how a mindset exercise he did with Pete Fry to plan his path to the NHL played out almost to the day for his debut with the Chicago Blackhawks, has us laughing at stories of goalies using Yoga blocks -- yes Yoga blocks -- in their equipment to look bigger in the less regulated equipment world of Russia, and offers incredible insights into how all those experiences help shape his philosophy now as a coach and as he began to shift into more of a mentorship role while still playing last season.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop to talk about the new Bauer 940 and 950 masks, and how you can save big on the old 950X:
