Episode 111 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Garret Sparks, who is currently playing with the Calgary Flames American Hockey League affiliate.Sparks passion for the position shines through in this feature interview, presented by Sense Arena. He shares many of the lessons he has learned during eight years of pro hockey that included a storybook NHL debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs. And while many of them are on the ice as he continues to evolve his approach and improve his efficiency (but not at the expense of those instinctual saves) at age 27, some of the most important lessons have come off the ice.That includes his work this summer with Ian Mack of Tomahawk Science, a trainer most famous for clients like Patrick Kane and Auston Matthews, and how he's better tied his training off the ice to his improving movements on the ice. It also involves his approach and mindset to the position, and rediscovering the joys that first drew him to it, a lesson gratefully received by playing partner Calgary puck-stopping prospect Dustin Wolf in his first pro stint before recently going back to the WHL.There's a lot to unpack, and Sparks sincerity shines through to make it an enjoyable conversation that anyone who plays this position will enjoy.All that, plus another trip to The Hockey Shop where Cam shares the features and some early personal feedback from his experience testing the True 2-piece goalies skate, as well as huge pro return savings on other models.

On this week's episode of Bear Tracks, the 2020 preseason has gotten underway, and we welcome goaltender Garret Sparks onto the podcast after signing with club earlier in the week. Sparks recounts his favorite Orlando memories, his fixation and fascination with customizing his goaltending equipment and more.

In this episode I chat with one of the biggest upcoming goalie coaches in Canada, Matt Smith. We talk about his work with World Junior Gold Medalist Nico Daws, and his story going from unnoticed to #1 on the NA NHL central scouting list. What was going through Matt’s head during OHL draft day when he drafted Nico Daws, and what coaches at the major junior level look for in goaltenders. Several technical topics including how to reprogram the subconscious mind through repetition, and how changing the plain of your eyes can effect your tracking. Lastly how to self-evaluate properly on individual goals and your season, and how to plan for next year to set yourself up for success.
