Shane Clifford: What a Goalie Coach Learned From Fleury, Irbe and Wolf (Ep. 373)

Episode 373 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features long-time junior (and former NHL and NCAA) goalie coach Shane Clifford.

In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Clifford shares great advice and tips from more than two decades coaching goalies, including Marc-Andre Fleury with the Penguins, Dustin Wolf in the WHL and Arturs Irbe in the ECHL. Clifford, who is currently working with Idaho in the NAHL and Sioux City in the USHL as well as doing private coaching, has a lot of valuable lessons for goalies and parents trying to take that next step into junior, and beyond, about everything from mobility to the importance of not throwing away reps, and avoiding the "hockey witness protection program" by staying where a potential team sends its players.

In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch has a great reminder about "the stuff that lasts," the value of goalie friendships, and the importance of the language parents use when talking about their child's goalie partner.

We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, with Devin Cooley of the Calgary Flames walking us through a tough rush chance and his threshold for "skate or slide" decisions.

And in our weekly gear segment, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, we look at the new TPS Response 2K Pro goalie stick, with pro features at a price slightly below the top end.
