The drive and mindset mastery required to do so has led Lerg into a second career coaching goalies as an owner of Future Pro USA, and helping them master the mental game and achieve true self-belief through his Dialed and Driven Success Formula and a podcast of the same name. This is a can't-miss interview for goalies, parents and coaches alike.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch tackles the always difficult question of how to split playing time for goalies in minor hockey.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring the return of San Jose Sharks goalie Alex Nedeljkovic with a lengthy masterclass on tracking plays from behind the net.And in our weekly gear segment we conclude our Bauer GSX series with a look at a great value $139.99 stick, including a breakdown of weight and material differences, curve and color options.

Dubnyk rides shotgun, explaining how all those elements translated for him when he was playing in the NHL and now that he's coaching younger goalies, as well as why it was sometimes hard for him to hold onto good tracking during a season, and how Mast's new Trac Optics goggles solve that problem by providing instant feedback that lets you know if you're on or off the puck.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch moves last week's talk about the importance of building good habits and routines up to game time.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring the debut of New York Rangers goalie Dylan Garand with a fantastic breakdown of a low-high pass across the slot line, and how the foundations of his game allow him to be ready when the unexpected happens.And in our weekly gear segment we look at the latest iteration of Bauer's GSX pants and chest protector, a lower price point option that's also great for ball hockey.

That last one is great advice for goalies and coaches facing the same in today's NHL, and is just one of many examples of the lessons from the pro career, including learning from coaches, playing partners, and even this podcast, that make this a can't-miss interview with a true student of the position.In the latest Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch explains why mindset can be a goaltending superpower and how you can help your young goalie build it -- and with it, a positive identity.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Dustin Wolf with more advice on plays behind the net, and a continuation of his evolution in managing them.And in our weekly gear segment we look at the True Catalyst 5X6 line -- the cheapest option available at The Hockey Shop Source for Sports -- but we explain why they're not cheap on feel or value.

Episode 356 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Washington Capitals practice goalie -- and one-time EBUG -- Parker Milner. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Milner walks us through his path from Pittsburgh minor hockey to two-time NCAA champion at Boston College and the top goalie in the ECHL before retiring and, after a couple years away from the game, becoming the Capitals practice goalie for the past three seasons. Milner, 35, shares tips and insights into his life in the line of fire, whether it's Alex Ovechkin one-timers, being a target during lengthy skill sessions, or the game-improvements of his own with goalie coach Scott Murray. We also get into his road stint on the bench as the EBUG this season and his thoughts on the NHL rules that will prevent him from continuing as the practice goalie now that every team has to have one. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we share 10 tips to make the the position more affordable, and explain why cost doesn't have to be as scary as most say. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Casey DeSmith of the Dallas Stars with some great advice on alignment on the post to manage net drives and pass options. And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at the new CCM Tacks pads and gloves, the second price point with a long list of pro level features!
Episode 355 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Brett Jaeger, who recently retired after 22 years of pro hockey, including more than a decade overseas. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Jaeger walks us through a career that started as a kid looking up to his dad in rural Alberta, including time in the AJHL (where he was MVP), WHL and ECHL before heading to Europe for stops in England, Denmark and finally, almost 15 seasons in Germany. There were a lot of great lessons along the way for the 5-foot-10 puck stopper, and he shares them openly with us as he begins a transition into coaching. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we share 10 tips for tournament success, a well-timed lesson coming off the World Championships and Memorial Cup, which are also discussed at length during this episode. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Dustin Wolf of the Calgary Flames with some great advice on reading shot threats and ideal mechanics for a backdoor push. And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at the new Brian's Iconik X2 pads and gloves, a lower price point option with several pro features.

Ryan Warsofsky just completed his second season as the head coach of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, this past season leading them to 39 wins, an 18 win improvement over 2025. He also served as the head coach for the U.S. Men's National Team for the first time at the 2025 IIHF Men's World Championship, winning a gold medal. Prior to joining the Sharks, Warsofsky was the head coach of the Chicago Wolves of the AHL for two seasons (2020-22), where, in 2022, at age 34, he became the youngest coach since Peter Laviolette in 1999 to guide a team to the Calder Cup. He also spent two seasons with the AHL's Charlotte Checkers, one as an assistant (2018-19) and one as head coach (2019-20). In 2019, he helped guide the Checkers to a Calder Cup. Warsofsky's coaching career began in 2012-13 with his alma mater NCAA Division III Curry College as an assistant after two seasons with the team as a player. He then joined the ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays in 2013, serving as an assistant for three seasons before being promoted to head coach and director of hockey operations for his final two seasons (2016-18). In our conversation today, we discuss what it is like to be the youngest head coach in the NHL and the leadership dynamic that he brings to the locker room. We discuss the importance of joy, patience, Ryan's non-negotiables, and what makes a great leader. We also discuss coaching Gen Z athletes, the importance of fundamentals, and how to negotiate the world of social media to continue to build trust and great team culture.
