## Resource

Episode 347 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features gold-medal winning Team USA goalie coach Mike Buckley of the Los Angeles Kings. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Buckley talks about his experiences at the Olympics, including his work with Connor Hellebuyck, and shares some incredible lessons from a coaching career that includes a decade in the NCAA before the past seven in the NHL, first with the Pittsburgh Penguins and there last three in Los Angeles. Buckley talks about teaching "motion," a variation on backwards flow (for lack of a better term) that isn't limited to rush chances, and the psychology and mindset he's brought to the Kings, including walking us through a simple breath work drill that Anton Forsberg said has helped him immensely this season. It really is a can't miss interview loaded with takeaways for goalies at every level. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we ask whether that desire to protect our kids in minor hockey is really preparing them for life beyond it. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Jet Greaves of the Columbus Blue Jackets with a two-part look at sharp-angle shots and passes behind screens. In our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the Warrior Alpha Surge pads, with so many new features we had to saves the gloves for another time.
