Episode 288 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features ex-NHL goalie former long-time Dallas Stars goalie coach Mike Valley.
In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Valley walks us through highlights of his latest book, The Power Within III, co-authored with Justin Goldman of The Goalie Guild, sharing anecdotes and highlights from his interviews with a wide range of goalies and goalie coaches. From Tim Thomas inviting multiple equipment companies to bring him new skates to test three games into his Stanley Cup Championship playoff run, to Mitch Korn working with Dominik Hasek and stories from Bill Ranford, Sean Burke, Brian Elliott, Thomas Magnusson, Alfie Michaud, Jeremy Swayman and Hannu Nykvist, the interview is loaded with great advice and insights.
In our Parents Segment, presented by the Stop It Goaltending U app, we talk about drills that can help goalies — and their teammates — get warmed up properly and quickly with a focus on minor hockey where warm up time on ice is so limited.
We also review this week's Pro Reads, which is presented by Vizual Edge, featuring freshly minted AHL All Star Devon Levi of the Buffalo Sabres with some great advice on when to use paddle down.
And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Vaughn VX1 pants and subtle improvements on an already popular pant among NHL goalies.
