Summary

Episode 366 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an information-packed interview with PWHL, OHL, and Hockey Canada goalie coach Brad Fogal.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Fogal, who also runs the Goalie Training Institute in Ontario, walks us through his unique path to NCAA and minor pro hockey before becoming a full-time coach, and how it informs his work now on the other side of the whistle. We caught up with Fogal while he was working with Team Canada's under-18 women's team, but he also works with PWHL Toronto and has been in the OHL with Owen Sound, and he shared advice on the importance of building a foundation -- and what that looks like at different ages -- consistent terminology, the biomechanics of good movement, adding game realism and decision-making to drills, working with multiple goalies and so much more.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch welcomes you to the Goalie (Parent) Union with his top-10 tips (actually top-11, with a bonus) for new goalie parents going into their first season.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie with a great breakdown of a late-game 6-on-5 and how to manage movement patterns and read releases even when you get a little behind a play, with a hat tip to Connor Hellebuyck for some of the advice he shares.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the Vaughn Ion Pro pads and gloves, which, counter to the name, is actually a second price-point line that still comes with plenty of top-end features.

Summary

Two Moves Almost Every Coach Skips (Outside Edge + Soft Drag)

The first ten minutes of most practices are gone before anyone notices. Laps, a whistle, some stretching at the blue line, and a group of players who are now warm but no better than when they walked in. That block is worth a lot more than it is being used for.

In this video I go through exactly how I would restructure it: where the warm-up actually belongs, how to run it so nobody is standing in a line, why every player should have a puck from the very first rep, and the two mechanics I would put ahead of everything else. They are the two almost no team trains, which is exactly why they create such a gap for the players who do.

Watch the full walkthrough to see how the block is built and what to run inside it.

The Downhill Skating System is the mechanics-first approach that unlocks effortless, controlled speed on the ice without extra conditioning, pushing or “trying harder.” Inspired by the movement signatures of players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, and other elite NHL skaters, this system teaches you how to move on the ice with gravity, using your body's own stretch shortening cycles mixed with the most efficient footwork patterns and various skating mechanics.

Most players skate “uphill”: stiff, blocky, pushing hard, creating tension and burning energy like we were always taught in traditional powerskating. Downhill skating flips that model. By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural gravitational momentum, we teach you move faster with less effort.

Inside the Downhill Skating System, players learn to:

1) Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.

2)Use different footwork patterns to add options, deception and effortlessness.

3)Proper joint alignment for efficiency and balance instead of creating tension with push strides.

Apply NHL-base mechanics like shin angle, Y-angle, rhythm and cadence. Generate speed using the rocker, with heel pressure and subtle weight transfers.

This system is not what players would learn in traditional, outdated power skating methods. It’s a biomechanics-based operating system designed to match your body type and natural movement patterns.

Whether you’re trying to improve the forward stride, lateral movements, deception, or posture, Downhill Skating reveals the hidden mechanics the NHL’s best rely on, and shows you how to plug them into your game step by step.

If you’re ready to skate faster with less effort, flow through transitions, and move with the smoothness of the world’s best players, the Downhill Skating System is your blueprint to faster player development.

Summary

Made a bad play? Had a rough shift? Feeling nervous, angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed? Former NHL player Kurtis Gabriel has a message for you: those emotions dont have to control what happens next.On this episode of The Ride to the Rink, Lee Elias and Mike Bonelli are joined by former NHL player Kurtis Gabriel for a practical conversation about one of the most important parts of becoming a hockey player: learning how to manage your mind when the game gets difficult.Kurtis introduces young players to a simple breathing technique called the psychological sigha tool he used during his own playing career when he needed to calm down, reset, and prepare for his next shift.But the conversation goes deeper than breathing. How do you recognize what fear feels like in your body? How can you respond differently when pressure shows up? What if understanding your emotions is like unlocking a map in a video game? And how much could worrying about what other people think be holding you back?Kurtis encourages players to start mapping their emotionslearning what fear, excitement, pressure, and confidence actually feel like physically so they can recognize those feelings when they arrive.Lee also shares a powerful story from his own playing career about feeling so much pressure during a game that his legs suddenly felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. What changed wasnt the situationit was his understanding of what the pressure meant.Instead of thinking, I cant handle this, he learned to recognize:I feel pressure because I care. I feel pressure because this moment matters. How great is it that I get to be in this position?And Kurtis leaves young athletes with another challenge: break out of the cringe prison. Dont let fear of what teammates or friends might think stop you from working on yourself, believing in yourself, or chasing what matters to you.In this episode: Learn a simple breathing reset for difficult moments Discover how to recognize and map your emotions Understand why staying even-keeled is a hockey superpower Reframe pressure instead of running from it Build confidence without comparing your journey to someone elses Stop allowing other peoples opinions to dictate your effort Remember that no matter what happens in hockey, youre going to be okayYoung players: you have more control over your response than you may realize. Like shooting, skating, or stickhandling, managing your emotions is something you can practice.Wherever you are on your hockey journey, believe in your ability to learn, grow, reset, and attack the next shift.Skate hard. Have fun. Go learn something. Want a written version you can reference anytime?

We're getting closer and closer to real hockey once again, but the 2026-27 hockey season is going to be unlike any other. This is the second year of CHL players being eligible to play college hockey and it has caused a dramatic shift in the way both junior and college will look. Chris and Cam get into it, in detail and offer a lot of opinions on the topic. Before that, however, the Called Up crew shares thoughts on the somber news regarding Arizona State's Matthew Mayich and extend thoughts to the 21-year-old who remains in the hospital after collapsing during off-ice training last week. We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Mayich and his family and friends during this difficult time. Chris and Cam also dive into some major college hockey recruiting news as Michigan landed two high-end prospects for the 2027 NHL Draft -- Dima Zhilkin and Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll. Then it's onto the biggest topic of the summer including the shifting demographics of college hockey, what it means for the junior ranks, why USA Hockey is growing concerned about the trends and where things go from here. Chris and Cam also talk about their own thoughts about player development and why the decisions of where to play are never all that simple. Then we get after it with our regular staples, The Called Up Challenge, Beyond Belief and You Have To Pick One.

Have you ever watched an NHL superstar dangle through three defenders and wondered how they make it look like they've got a forcefield around them, gliding past checks like they're not even there?

That's the illusion John Riley set out to break down when he took the ice at TCS Live in 2023 for a session on creating offensive opportunities by invading space. The goal for offensive players, Riley explained, isn't to avoid defenders. It's to go right through them.

Summary

What happens when a players belief is strong enough to take him all the way to the NHLbut his identity becomes so tied to hockey that he has to rediscover who he is when the game ends?Former NHL player Kurtis Gabriel joins Lee Elias and Mike Bonelli for a powerful conversation about chasing impossible dreams, being overlooked, finding your role, handling pressure, and learning that hockey can be an incredible part of your life without becoming your entire sense of worth.Kurtis wasnt a highly touted prospect. He played AA hockey, considered hanging up his skates, was passed over in the NHL Draft, and still developed an unwavering conviction that he would eventually play in the NHL.What followed was a remarkable journey built on work ethic, sacrifice, resilience, and what Kurtis describes as something even stronger than belief: knowing.But reaching the NHL is only part of his story.Kurtis opens up about how deeply his identity and self-worth became connected to being a hockey player, the struggles he faced after retiring earlier than expected, and why his journey inward has changed the way he now looks at hockey, parenting, coaching, success, and happiness. In this episode, youll hear:Why Kurtis believes young players should be allowed to dream as big as possibleHow a AA player went from nearly quitting hockey to eventually reaching the NHLWhy parents shouldnt have to manufacture motivation for their kidsThe difference between supporting a players passion and making hockey their identityWhy your child needs home to remain a safe landing place after difficult gamesHow parents can model the behaviors and values they want their children to developWhy process, presence, and self-awareness can matter more than obsessing over outcomesHow meditation and recognizing emotions can help athletes respond to mistakes and pressureWhy Kurtis believes happiness and fulfillment cannot ultimately come from hockeyor anything outside yourselfWhat he learned from reconnecting with former NHL opponents through The Fight Plan PodcastOne of the biggest reminders from this conversation is one we return to often on Our Kids Play Hockey:The return on youth hockey isnt a scholarship, a roster spot, or even the NHL. Its the person your child becomes through the experience.Let them dream.Let them work.Let them stumble.And when they come home from the rink, make sure they know that their performance never determines their value to you. Listen now for an honest, vulnerable conversation every hockey parent, player, and coach should hear. Want a written version you can reference anytime? Check out our companion blog: Your Child Is More Than a Hockey Player: What Kurtis Gabriels NHL Journey Can Teach Hockey FamiliesAnd be sure to follow Kurtis Gabriel and check out The Fight Plan Podcast, where he continues exploring the fights athletes face on the iceand the much bigger fights all of us face in life.#OurKidsPlayHockey #KurtisGabriel #YouthHockey #HockeyParents #HockeyDevelopment #HockeyMindset #MentalPerformance #AthleteIdentity #YouthSports #HockeyLife #NHL #SportsParenting

Summary

When a career comes full circle.This week on Rinkside Rundown, Im joined by Colgate University graduate and PWHL Detroit draft pick Casey Borgiel. We trace her path from youth hockey with Little Caesars through her collegiate stops at Holy Cross and Colgate, and what she discovered about herself both on and off the ice along the way.Casey opens up about the impact of team culture and leadership, the reality of transitioning from junior to NCAA Division I, and how mental resilience and sports psychology helped her handle pressure at every level. We also dig into how shes preparing for the pro game and what it means to build a career beyond the scoresheet.Since we spoke, Caseys hard work has paid off in a big way.

Summary

The Downhill Skating System is the mechanics-first approach that unlocks effortless, controlled speed on the ice without extra conditioning, pushing or “trying harder.” Inspired by the movement signatures of players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, and other elite NHL skaters, this system teaches you how to move on the ice with gravity, using your body's own stretch shortening cycles mixed with the most efficient footwork patterns and various skating mechanics.

Most players skate “uphill”: stiff, blocky, pushing hard, creating tension and burning energy like we were always taught in traditional powerskating. Downhill skating flips that model. By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural gravitational momentum, we teach you move faster with less effort.

Inside the Downhill Skating System, players learn to:

1) Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.

2)Use different footwork patterns to add options, deception and effortlessness.

3)Proper joint alignment for efficiency and balance instead of creating tension with push strides.

Apply NHL-base mechanics like shin angle, Y-angle, rhythm and cadence. Generate speed using the rocker, with heel pressure and subtle weight transfers.

This system is not what players would learn in traditional, outdated power skating methods. It’s a biomechanics-based operating system designed to match your body type and natural movement patterns.

Whether you’re trying to improve the forward stride, lateral movements, deception, or posture, Downhill Skating reveals the hidden mechanics the NHL’s best rely on, and shows you how to plug them into your game step by step.

If you’re ready to skate faster with less effort, flow through transitions, and move with the smoothness of the world’s best players, the Downhill Skating System is your blueprint to faster player development.

Summary

Welcome to Precise Puck Control.

There’s a reason we call this puck control and not just stickhandling.

Stickhandling usually refers to isolated mechanics like moving the puck around cones or in drills disconnected and from real gameplay. Puck control, in our context, is different. It’s the conscious ability to move the puck exactly where you want, at the speed you want, while your skating, shooting, and deception mechanics are fully integrated.

At Train 2.0, we teach it as part of a complete movement system.

The truth: isolated stickhandling doesn’t transfer to games. You might develop quick hands. You might look smooth in drills. But without integrating footwork, balance, posture, and skating mechanics, you’ll be missing that puck on a string look in-game.

We’ve all seen players with “great hands” who somehow struggle in games. That disconnect happens when puck skills are trained without mechanical awareness or integration. Repeating the same patterns around cones without adjusting mechanics can actually reinforce bad habits instead of building elite control.

Our goal with this system is to give you a language for puck control: a mechanical framework you can understand, feel, and adjust. When you combine awareness with deliberate repetition, you build mastery.

Inside this course, you’ll learn:

1) How elite NHL players integrate skating, handling, and deception.

2) What mechanical adjustments create real control at top speed.

3) How to systematically close the gaps in your own puck control.

4) How to create more options in more situations during games.
