Episode 113 Éric Fichaud Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

Episode 113 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features former NHL goalie and current TV analyst Éric Fichaud.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Fichaud shares insights into an NHL career that started as a first round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs at the 1994 NHL Draft and ended a decade later playing for his hometown Montreal Canadiens. Fichaud played during an era of rapid evolution in the position and talks about all the changes he faced, from equipment to technique to what it really means to be a pro. It's a fascinating look from a goalie who was caught without a goalie coach for much of it -- he describes how playing partner Artus Irbe became the default coach in Carolina at one point -- but saw others improving rapidly around the league.

Fichaud also talks about the changes in gear, why "just stand up" isn't really an answer for sharp angle attacks, the evolution of paddle down that followed, and shares great insights into today's games and stars from his observations working as an analyst for TVA Sports in Montreal.

All that, plus another trip to The Hockey Shop where Cam and Woody provide a deeper look at the new Bauer Hyperlite glove and blocker which you can also see on YouTube :

Episode 112 Beck Warm Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

Episode 112 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Beck Warm who has quickly moved this season from a successful WHL career through his first AHL deal and now has earned an NHL contract with the Carolina Hurricanes

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena we hear from Warm who pushed past being undrafted into Major Junior Hockey to play his first game there at 15. Then passed by in the NHL draft, he earned an AHL deal with the Chicago Wolves this season, quickly adapting to the pro game and posting a 5-1 record with a 2.02 GAA and a .944 SV% to earn an NHL contract with the Carolina Hurricanes who recently called him up to their taxi squad. At 6-foot tall he may have been overlooked by some but Warm’s dedication and attention to every detail in his training and preparation helped him show that the only thing that matters is stopping the puck.

InGoal first met Warm through the Net 360 goaltending camps run by Alpha Hockey where as a 16-year old he got the opportunity to rte mentored by many pros, including his now-teammate in Carolina, James Reimer. We know you’ll find this a fascinating listen with lessons on all aspects of the game for goaltenders of all ages.

All that, plus another trip to The Hockey Shop where Cam and Woody provide a first look at the new Bauer Hyperlite gear featuring a new knee, even more active rebounds and a new flex profile, two name just a few changes to this great new gear.

Episode 111 Garret Sparks Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

Episode 111 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Garret Sparks, who is currently playing with the Calgary Flames American Hockey League affiliate.

Sparks passion for the position shines through in this feature interview, presented by Sense Arena. He shares many of the lessons he has learned during eight years of pro hockey that included a storybook NHL debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs. And while many of them are on the ice as he continues to evolve his approach and improve his efficiency (but not at the expense of those instinctual saves) at age 27, some of the most important lessons have come off the ice.

That includes his work this summer with Ian Mack of Tomahawk Science, a trainer most famous for clients like Patrick Kane and Auston Matthews, and how he's better tied his training off the ice to his improving movements on the ice. It also involves his approach and mindset to the position, and rediscovering the joys that first drew him to it, a lesson gratefully received by playing partner Calgary puck-stopping prospect Dustin Wolf in his first pro stint before recently going back to the WHL.

There's a lot to unpack, and Sparks sincerity shines through to make it an enjoyable conversation that anyone who plays this position will enjoy.

All that, plus another trip to The Hockey Shop where Cam shares the features and some early personal feedback from his experience testing the True 2-piece goalies skate, as well as huge pro return savings on other models.
