This episode is a 20 minute segment from our one hour sit down with Lombo that highlights his climb from his first year pro in the ECHL to becoming a full time NHL'er. True testament that if you're willing to work and do whatever it takes to make it, you will make it.

This week, Jon and Scott talk about the retirements that the NHL has seen, Porter Martone makes a B1G commitment to face Gavin McKenna, and a Utah team is moving. Lyle Richardson of Spector's Hockey will discuss the Dakota Joshua move to Toronto, Pittsburgh's rebuild, and did 3ICE get money support from the NHL?? 

Episode 85: Damon Whitten. Lake Superior State University HC Damon Whitten joined the prohockeypod this week. He started his hockey career as a goalie and played until he was in his Junior year of highschool before switching to forward. It seemed to be an easy transition as Damon would go on to play tier 2 junior hockey in multiple leagues before heading off to Michigan State University. He would spend 4 years there playing alongside the likes of goalie Ryan Miller and forward Shawn Horcoff, both who went on to have respectable NHL careers. After school, Damon spent 2 years in the ECHL where he won a Kelly Cup with the Greenville Grrrowl. After this, Damon would make the switch to coaching and spend 2 years at Wayne State University. Damon then moved to Univ. Of Alaska-Anchorage where I was very eager to talk to him about his living experiences. He joked about seeing a lot of wild life but enjoyed his time there. Damon would then get a chance back at Michigan State as Director of Hockey Operations. I picked his brain about his day to day responsibilities and how he felt it was a very importance experience for his coaching career. Damon went on to Michigan Tech for 4 years, coaching a buddy of mine, before getting his first HC job at Lake Superior, where he has been stationed for the past 11 seasons. This episode is full of great helpful experiences as well as advice for any young coaches out there. Happy Damon had the time to share them with me. Hope you enjoy!

Young talks about the biggest adjustments and differences at each level, which makes for a great spring board into our conversation with Finnish goalie Koskenvuo, who was drafted in 2021 and is preparing to follow Young's path after leaving Harvard University in the spring following three seasons. In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, we share tips on skate sharpening for parents. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features a special 21-minute video of Hart Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck breaking down his positioning and save selection while watching a variety of different types of attacks. And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a closer look at the new Bauer FlyLite stick options, including a Source for Sports-exclusive model with a trigger grip that you can buy off the rack.

Episode 306 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a great interview with Seattle Kraken prospect Victor Östman after a wild first season of pro hockey. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Östman discusses his roots and training in the position growing up in Sweden, his continuing evolution in the USHL and then through four years at the University of Maine, and a crazy first full season after turning pro at the end of past season. It included games in the ECHL, AHL and his NHL debut with the Kraken, as well as a goalie fight despite having an EBUG backing him up on the bench and a little known rule that kept him in the game. It's another can't miss interview with a goalie we suspect you'll hear a lot about in the coming years. In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, we asked listeners if you could pick ONLY 1 thing to work on this summer, would it be: A. Goalie-specific training with a coach (at a camp or 1-on-1), B. Playing Games or C. Skating (power or goalie specific). That sparked a great discussion on the benefits of each, with input from respondents to our question on social media. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Charlie Lindgren breaking down video and discussing the importance of in-zone awareness even when your teammates have the puck, as well as the importance of not widening out as you drift backwards in order to avoid biting on fakes. And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports to for a deep dive on the new CCM EFLEX 7 pads and gloves that launch in full at retail next week.
