Episode 357 Henrik Haukeland (WC Top Goalie)

Episode 356 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Henrik Haukeland, the Top Goalie at this year's IIHF World Championships.  

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Haukeland shares stories and insights from him remarkable run backstopping Norway to it's first ever medal at the World Championships in Switzerland, including a 3-2 overtime win against a star-studded Canadian team in the final game. The 31-year-old was already the top goalie in Germany's top league, the DEL, in 2023 and has played in Sweden's top-level SHL and Finland's elite Liiga during an impressive pro career in Europe, and shares advice from his path in pro and insights into Norway's unique sporting structure and the evolving state of the game -- and goaltending -- in his native country.

In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about importance of goalie parents taking time for their own mental and physical health, possibly while loosening the leash on how closely you watch your young goalie, and how that can benefit both of you. 

We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring freshly minted Stanley Cup champion Brandon Bussi with a greta breakdown on managing plays from behind the net. 

And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, or a look at the new True Catalyst Nitro pads and gloves and how it compares with other levels in that lineup.
