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!

Send us Fan MailHow do you stay in the game for more than 20 years as a professional goalie?In this episode of The Goalie Mindset Podcast, Pete Fry sits down with former pro goaltender Brett Jaeger, who built a career that lasted over two decades across North America and Europe.Brett shares his journey from growing up in a tiny town in northern Alberta to playing junior hockey, pro hockey in the ECHL and CHL, and eventually building a long career overseas in England, Denmark, and Germany.What makes this conversation powerful is how honest it is.Brett talks about getting thrown into tough situations early, facing 60–70 shots a night as a teenager, struggling through difficult stretches, and learning how to stay mentally steady through it all.Pete and Brett get into:Why playing on weaker teams can actually help goalies growThe importance of competing, even when things aren't going wellWhat Brett learned from guys like Robb Tallas and John StevensonWhy stretching and recovery helped extend his careerHow confidence and mindset become more important as you move up levelsThe difference between talented goalies and mentally tough goaliesBrett also shares a great message for goalie parents and coaches. Goalies already put enough pressure on themselves. They need support, trust, and room to work through adversity, not embarrassment or panic after every mistake.One of the best lines from the episode comes from Glenn Hall, who once signed Brett's blocker with this message:“Don't be afraid to sweat.”That pretty much sums up this whole conversation.

pWotD Episode 3313: Claude Lemieux Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 375,808 views on Thursday, 28 May 2026 our article of the day is Claude Lemieux.Claude Percy Lemieux (July 16, 1965 – May 28, 2026) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 21 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for six teams between 1983 and 2009. Lemieux won four Stanley Cup championships during his career, including two with the New Jersey Devils, with whom he won the Conn Smythe Trophy during the team's victory in the 1995 Stanley Cup Final. He was one of 11 players to win a Stanley Cup championship with at least three different teams. He was also known as one of the greatest playoff performers, with his 80 career playoff goals ranking as the ninth most in NHL history.Lemieux was born in Buckingham, Quebec, but grew up in Mont-Laurier, Quebec. He was drafted in the second round of the 1983 NHL entry draft by the Montreal Canadiens and played with them from 1983–1990, winning his first Stanley Cup with the team in 1986. In 1990, he was traded to the Devils, with whom he played five seasons and won a second Stanley Cup. He was traded to the Colorado Avalanche in 1995 and won his third Stanley Cup during the 1996 Cup Final. During the playoffs that season, Lemieux hit Kris Draper of the Detroit Red Wings from behind, breaking Draper's orbital, cheek, and jaw bones, and sparking a vicious rivalry between the Avalanche and Red Wings. In 1999, Lemieux was traded back to the Devils and won a fourth Stanley Cup with them in the 2000 Cup Final. Over the next few seasons, he played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars. Lemieux left the NHL in 2003 and briefly joined EV Zug of the Swiss Nationalliga A before retiring as a player. In 2005, he was named president of the ECHL's Phoenix RoadRunners, a position he held for two years. Lemieux returned to the NHL with the San Jose Sharks for the 2008–2009 season, but retired again after that year. Following his retirement, Lemieux became a sports agent, serving in the role until his death.His son, Brendan Lemieux, is also a former NHL player, and currently plays for HC Davos of the National League in Switzerland.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:42 UTC on Friday, 29 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Claude Lemieux on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.

This week, the boys talk about Vegas getting back to the Cup Final again, a new ECHL team is named, and some coaching spots are getting some interviews. Lyle Richardson of Spector's Hockey joins to talk about Evgeni Malkin re-signing in Pittsburgh, the Vegas dynasty, and some free agent chatter. 

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.

Dekáda za morom, prechod drsným univerzitným systémom a náročný boj o prežitie v nižších zámorských súťažiach. Keď sa pred uplynulou sezónou objavilo na súpiske Michaloviec meno Matúša Spodniaka, mnohí fanúšikovia slovenského hokeja spozorneli. Dnes už však dobre vedia, o koho ide.Dvadsaťosemročný útočník má za sebou mimoriadne vydarený ročník, v ktorom nasúkal úctyhodných 24 gólov. Ako odmenu si vyslúžil svoju vôbec prvú pozvánku do národného tímu. O svojej strastiplnej ceste, špecifikách amerického hokeja, ale aj o tom, prečo sa rozhodol opustiť Zemplín a zamieriť k našim západným susedom, otvorene porozprával v najnovšej epizóde podcastu Góly z bufetu.Hoci je na reprezentačnej úrovni vo veku 28 rokov úplným nováčikom, z jeho hlasu cítiť zdravé sebavedomie vybudované ťažkými rokmi v Severnej Amerike. Matúš Spodniak v rozhovore pútavo približuje realitu amerických líg aj drsné prostredie ECHL, kde obliekal dres tímu Indy Fuel. Práve tam sa naučil, že hokejový život nie je pre padavky a človek si musí svoje miesto na ľade doslova vybojovať.Hokej na Slovensku ho preto po návrate v niektorých ohľadoch prekvapil. V podcaste sa s úsmevom pozastavuje nad prísnymi pravidlami našej najvyššej súťaže. Podľa jeho slov sa mu veľmi nepáči, že na Slovensku dostane hráč za bitku automaticky trest do konca zápasu, keďže v Amerike bol zvyknutý na úplne iný a voľnejší štýl riešenia konfliktov na ľade.Neštíti sa tak kedykoľvek zhodiť rukavice, hoci ako sám sebakriticky a vtipne dodáva, nie vždy to dopadne podľa predstáv. Zaspomínal si aj na moment, kedy ho súper nepríjemne zaskočil. „Raz sa mi stalo, že som zhodil rukavice a chalan bol ľavák. To som nečakal. Z ničoho nič to vymenil a dostal som dobrého šalátu. Učíme sa z chýb,“ rozosmial moderátorov otvoreným priznaním.Diskusia s Marekom Marušiakom a Tomášom Prokopom sa však netočí len okolo pästných súbojov. Matúš Spodniak úprimne opisuje svoj príchod do Michaloviec, kam podľa vlastných slov išiel s malou dušičkou a s očakávaním, čo mu slovenský hokej vlastne prinesie. Výsledok prekonal všetky očakávania. Prišla skvelá sezóna z individuálneho hľadiska, drsná sedemzápasová semifinálová séria proti Nitre a napokon aj životný posun vpred.Poslucháči sa dozvedia exkluzívne detaily o tom, prečo jeho kroky teraz smerujú do českej extraligy a aké méty má pred sebou vo svojej sľubne rozbehnutej kariére. Pustite si najnovšiu epizódu podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk a spoznajte silný príbeh hráča, ktorý si svoju cestu na výslnie musel tvrdo oddrieť. Okrem iného zistite aj to, ako sa rodák zo stredného Slovenska popasoval s typickým zemplínskym nárečím.

Episode 344 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Tampa Bay Lightning, Syracuse Crunch goalie -- and recently named AHL goalie of the month -- Brandon Halverson. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Halverson shares lessons and insights from a long, often winding journey to his first NHL start last season with the Lightning, more than a decade after being picked in the second by the New York Rangers in the 2014 NHL Draft. It's a path that included playing second division in Germany after injuries forced him out for almost two seasons, and at one point working as a delivery driver as he worked his way back from multiple surgeries, before starting his comeback in the ECHL and earning his way up to the AHL and then the NHL. It's a can't miss chat filled with great advice, both between the pipes technically and tactically, and between the ears with mindset tips.  In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about what to do when the season comes to an end, as it has for many minor hockey families, to give give everyone proper closure.
