Episode 355: Brett Jaeger

Episode 355 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Brett Jaeger, who recently retired after 22 years of pro hockey, including more than a decade overseas.

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Jaeger walks us through a career that started as a kid looking up to his dad in rural Alberta, including time in the AJHL (where he was MVP), WHL and ECHL before heading to Europe for stops in England, Denmark and finally, almost 15 seasons in Germany. There were a lot of great lessons along the way for the 5-foot-10 puck stopper, and he shares them openly with us as he begins a transition into coaching.  

In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we share 10 tips for tournament success, a well-timed lesson coming off the World Championships and Memorial Cup, which are also discussed at length during this episode.

We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Dustin Wolf of the Calgary Flames with some great advice on reading shot threats and ideal mechanics for a backdoor push. 

And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at the new Brian's Iconik X2 pads and gloves, a lower price point option with several pro features.
