\nEpisode 366 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an information-packed interview with PWHL, OHL, and Hockey Canada goalie coach Brad Fogal.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Fogal, who also runs the Goalie Training Institute in Ontario, walks us through his unique path to NCAA and minor pro hockey before becoming a full-time coach, and how it informs his work now on the other side of the whistle. We caught up with Fogal while he was working with Team Canada's under-18 women's team, but he also works with PWHL Toronto and has been in the OHL with Owen Sound, and he shared advice on the importance of building a foundation -- and what that looks like at different ages -- consistent terminology, the biomechanics of good movement, adding game realism and decision-making to drills, working with multiple goalies and so much more.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch welcomes you to the Goalie (Parent) Union with his top-10 tips (actually top-11, with a bonus) for new goalie parents going into their first season.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie with a great breakdown of a late-game 6-on-5 and how to manage movement patterns and read releases even when you get a little behind a play, with a hat tip to Connor Hellebuyck for some of the advice he shares.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the Vaughn Ion Pro pads and gloves, which, counter to the name, is actually a second price-point line that still comes with plenty of top-end features.
\nWell over three decades into their history, the Tampa Bay Lightning have their share of contracts that have had a chance to sit and develop proper hindsight. Some aged gracefully.…
\nTwo Moves Almost Every Coach Skips (Outside Edge + Soft Drag)
\nThe first ten minutes of most practices are gone before anyone notices. Laps, a whistle, some stretching at the blue line, and a group of players who are now warm but no better than when they walked in. That block is worth a lot more than it is being used for.
\nIn this video I go through exactly how I would restructure it: where the warm-up actually belongs, how to run it so nobody is standing in a line, why every player should have a puck from the very first rep, and the two mechanics I would put ahead of everything else. They are the two almost no team trains, which is exactly why they create such a gap for the players who do.
\nWatch the full walkthrough to see how the block is built and what to run inside it.
\nThe Downhill Skating System is the mechanics-first approach that unlocks effortless, controlled speed on the ice without extra conditioning, pushing or “trying harder.” Inspired by the movement signatures of players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, and other elite NHL skaters, this system teaches you how to move on the ice with gravity, using your body's own stretch shortening cycles mixed with the most efficient footwork patterns and various skating mechanics.
\nMost players skate “uphill”: stiff, blocky, pushing hard, creating tension and burning energy like we were always taught in traditional powerskating. Downhill skating flips that model. By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural gravitational momentum, we teach you move faster with less effort.
\nInside the Downhill Skating System, players learn to:
\n1) Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.
\n2)Use different footwork patterns to add options, deception and effortlessness.
\n3)Proper joint alignment for efficiency and balance instead of creating tension with push strides.
\nApply NHL-base mechanics like shin angle, Y-angle, rhythm and cadence. Generate speed using the rocker, with heel pressure and subtle weight transfers.
\nThis system is not what players would learn in traditional, outdated power skating methods. It’s a biomechanics-based operating system designed to match your body type and natural movement patterns.
\nWhether you’re trying to improve the forward stride, lateral movements, deception, or posture, Downhill Skating reveals the hidden mechanics the NHL’s best rely on, and shows you how to plug them into your game step by step.
\nIf you’re ready to skate faster with less effort, flow through transitions, and move with the smoothness of the world’s best players, the Downhill Skating System is your blueprint to faster player development.

\nMade a bad play? Had a rough shift? Feeling nervous, angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed? Former NHL player Kurtis Gabriel has a message for you: those emotions dont have to control what happens next.On this episode of The Ride to the Rink, Lee Elias and Mike Bonelli are joined by former NHL player Kurtis Gabriel for a practical conversation about one of the most important parts of becoming a hockey player: learning how to manage your mind when the game gets difficult.Kurtis introduces young players to a simple breathing technique called the psychological sigha tool he used during his own playing career when he needed to calm down, reset, and prepare for his next shift.But the conversation goes deeper than breathing. How do you recognize what fear feels like in your body? How can you respond differently when pressure shows up? What if understanding your emotions is like unlocking a map in a video game? And how much could worrying about what other people think be holding you back?Kurtis encourages players to start mapping their emotionslearning what fear, excitement, pressure, and confidence actually feel like physically so they can recognize those feelings when they arrive.Lee also shares a powerful story from his own playing career about feeling so much pressure during a game that his legs suddenly felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. What changed wasnt the situationit was his understanding of what the pressure meant.Instead of thinking, I cant handle this, he learned to recognize:I feel pressure because I care. I feel pressure because this moment matters. How great is it that I get to be in this position?And Kurtis leaves young athletes with another challenge: break out of the cringe prison. Dont let fear of what teammates or friends might think stop you from working on yourself, believing in yourself, or chasing what matters to you.In this episode: Learn a simple breathing reset for difficult moments Discover how to recognize and map your emotions Understand why staying even-keeled is a hockey superpower Reframe pressure instead of running from it Build confidence without comparing your journey to someone elses Stop allowing other peoples opinions to dictate your effort Remember that no matter what happens in hockey, youre going to be okayYoung players: you have more control over your response than you may realize. Like shooting, skating, or stickhandling, managing your emotions is something you can practice.Wherever you are on your hockey journey, believe in your ability to learn, grow, reset, and attack the next shift.Skate hard. Have fun. Go learn something. Want a written version you can reference anytime?
