Episode 307 with Pierre Groulx

InGoal Radio Podcast

Episode 307 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features goalie coach Pierre Groulx, who is coming off a trip to the PWHL final with for the Ottawa Charge after spending 15 seasons in the NHL with the Florida Panthers, Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators.

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Groulx talks about his transition to coaching in the PWHL and some of the trends and tendencies that might differ a little, whether it's on the ice or in how you manage the increased use of video for goalies that haven't had the same degree of coaching in-season before the PWHL raised the bar for resources. Of course, a lot of that work is similar to what Groulx did in the NHL, so he shared some of the foundations and lessons that he developed along the way, and the how working with goalies like Craig Anderson and Carey Price helped cement many of them.

In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, we go over the first 5 of 10 gear tips for goalie parents. While this week is aimed largely at parents of young goalies, we’re sure everyone will have an opinion on them and a few of their own to add in as well.

We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Devin Cooley of the Calgary Flames with a fantastic breakdown of a shooter's 3 options -- and how to read, approach and manage each one -- when they're cutting to the net off an angle on a rush chance.

And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports to for a deep dive on the new EFLEX 7.9 pads and gloves that launched this week and represent the best second price point option CCM has ever offered, including opportunities to add some custom option beyond name and color!
