$Episode 28 Curtis McElhinney, Bauer Mask Options and Mask Fitting: In this Episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports we connect with 11-year NHL veteran goaltender Curtis McElhinney, who signed a two-year free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on July 1. McElhinney shares so many memories and great lessons from a career that was launched with a love for the equipment, started in the NHL with an eye towards taking over for Miikka Kiprusoff in Calgary, almost ended with a pelvis fractured by what should have been routine crease movement with the Arizona Coyotes, and was reborn during four seasons with Sergei Bobrovsky, Ian Clark and the Columbus Blue Jackets. He talks candidly about his exit from the Toronto Maple Leafs last season — “The Toronto thing sucked,” he says, “It sucked." — a remarkable run to the Eastern Conference Final with the Carolina Hurricanes, why taking a surprise offer from Tampa Bay was an easy decision, and how hi$

Episode 21 John Stevenson and options for your steel: This week InGoal Radio presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, is one to pay close attention to. We all learn about gear and technique but if it’s true that the game is 80 or 90 percent mental then Dr. John Stevenson is someone you need to listen carefully to. He has guided Braden Holtby and Carter Hart since both were young. Stevenson started as a goaltending coach – right up to the NHL level – and transitioned into practice as a sports psychologist. In fact, when Holtby won the cup, after his family, Stevenson was the first person he thanked saying he wouldn’t have been there without him. Imagine what you could learn…. In the interview we talk about a workshop Stevenson is presenting across the country with another well-known goaltending mindset expert, Pete Fry (himself an NHL-drafted goaltender). The first sessions will be in Vancouver June 22/23. by InGoal Radio Podcast

From riding the bus in the ECHL while writing a 120-page Princeton thesis, to starting a Winter Classic for the Montreal Canadiens, to a major shift in his off-ice preparation (hint: bench press and bulk don't do anything for goaltending...) as he works to regain his health and NHL form with the Tampa Bay Lightning organization, this is one to bookmark and come back to again. And from Princeton-educated goaltender we go to a Ph.D. researcher in the biomechanics of goaltending and our gear as Dr. Ryan Frayne of Dalhousie University joins us to discuss his work looking at both mobility and protection in Chest / Arm units by InGoal Radio Podcast
