## Resource

Episode 342 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Carolina Hurricanes goaltending coach Paul Schonfelder. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Schonfelder shares his path -- and important lessons from it -- to the NHL as a coach, including the transition from a short stint playing minor pro to coaching Junior A in Ontario, then coaching in the OHL, with Hockey Canada and into a development role with the Hurricanes that led to his current job. He shares tips on working with different styles of goaltender at the same time, quickly building relationships with new goalies (as he had to do with waiver claim turned rising star Brandon Bussi), the importance of a growth mindset, how to help your goalie manage the mental challenge of low-event games, and lots, lots more. In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we look at important lessons from Connor Hellebuyck's path from never playing tier 1 minor hockey to becoming an Olympic champion. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, in which Vizual Edge user Cam Talbot sharing tips on how to use "windows" to manage plays and passes from behind the net. In our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the most common padded undergarments in NHL locker rooms (and tease a new arrival to the category!)
