Above the hash marks — stay on your feet. At the hash marks — slide. That's the rule, and explains exactly why it works. Coming off the best adjusted save percentage in the NHL last season with Calgary, sat down with InGoal for another extended Pro Reads breakdown — this time on a 2-on-0 rush chance against New Jersey where the whole play hinges on one decision: when do you commit, and when do you wait? The short answer is head tracking. "Your eyes are going to go first," he says. "So that puck is passed, and the first thing that's going to go is my head, so I'm watching it." From there it's threat recognition — reading body language on the first pass receiver to know he's not a shooter, buying time to cheat toward the secondary pass, and then committing to the slide only once the puck gets to hash-mark depth. He also gets into Calgary's depth philosophy — never outside the blue except on breakaways or 2-on-1s — and how he's adjusted his game since arriving in the AHL and working his way up. "You definitely don't want an aggressive depth, but you do want a little bit of a drift, so that way you can move from side to side." Presented by @vizualedge. Full breakdown at the link in bio.

Bobrovsky runs the same edge control routine every single day. Not because his skating is broken — because elite goalies know the foundation is always the first thing to check. That's one of the ideas Ian Clark unpacks in Episode 6 of The Last Line, and it reframes how you think about goalie development from the ground up. Clark's development pyramid puts skating and edge control at the base. Everything else — positioning, save execution, post-save response — grows from command of the edges. It sounds obvious until you realize how many development programs skip past it to work on flashier stuff. The episode also gets into Clark's save-process model (preparation, execution, post-save response), how he finds meaningful early improvements with experienced goalies without blowing up their game, and the Q&A question about whether young goalies are better off learning edges in player skates or goalie skates. His answer: strong general edge control matters more than the skate model. The position-specific movement can come after the foundation is there.

If your goalie's entire identity is wrapped up in the position, that's a problem — and most hockey families don't notice until something goes wrong. In Episode 372 of the Parent Playbook, presented by @stop_it_goaltending, InGoal digs into something that gets overlooked in the grind of the season: making sure your goalie has a life — a real sense of self — outside of hockey. It sounds obvious. It isn't. The position is uniquely consuming. Goalies carry the weight of every goal against, they specialize earlier than almost any player on the ice, and the culture around the position quietly encourages an all-in identity from a very young age. The episode uses the timing of Canadian Thanksgiving as a prompt to step back — to celebrate ordinary life, to notice what your goalie loves beyond the rink, and to actively protect space for those things even when the schedule makes it hard. Because a goalie who only knows how to be a goalie is fragile in ways that don't show up until the pressure spikes — a rough stretch, an injury, a season that doesn't go the way anyone hoped.

While the goalie’s technical engine drives movement and positioning, the upper body does the reading.

STABLE UPPER BODY
For the goalie to play with clear eyes and clear mind, upper body stability is vital.

LEGS AND FEET ARE ACTIVE
This means that while the lower body is active, the torso, arms, hands, and head must move with stability.

ARMS AND HANDS ARE STABLE
The reason is simple. If, for example, the hands and arms are swinging or out of control, this instability will extend to the head and eyes.

TRAINING FOCUS
When training, it is very important that goalies focus on this stability in the upper body so that their supercomputer is stable and can be fully leveraged.

STABILITY DELIVERS CLARITY
Instability means clouded visuals and decision making. Stability delivers clear eyes and clear mind – essential attributes of the elite netminder.

Coaching the PWHL MVP is one thing. Lenny Mosca also has to prepare for the moments where even Nikita Kucherov might show up on the other team's roster. Episode 372 of InGoal Radio features Mosca — goalie coach for the Boston Fleet — talking through his full path: D3 NCAA player, then coach at the same school, high school, junior, running Masscrease Goaltending School, and now working with one of the best goalies in the world in the PWHL. He gets into the drills and lessons that carry across every level he's coached, and what the day-to-day actually looks like when your goalie just won Olympic gold and PWHL MVP. Also in this episode: the Parent Playbook uses Canadian Thanksgiving as a jumping-off point for something worth hearing — your goalie needs an identity that exists outside the game, and it's on the people around them to help build that. In gear, InGoal looks at True's new 3D-printed tongue option for their goalie skates — available across their lineup, and the fit difference is real. And in Pro Reads, Dylan Garand of the Rangers walks through how he handles pucks behind the net, including a specific breakdown of reading Kucherov in that situation. Link in bio for the full episode.
