Episode 239 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a great conversation with Hunter Sheppard of the Washington Capitals and Hershey Bears.

In that feature interviews presented by NHL Sense Arena, Sheppard shares an at-times winding path that has required an element of "prove it" at every level despite winning championships at each stop, including the Calder Cup and playoff MVP with Hershey in the American Hockey League last season. Sheppard shares insights into a somewhat unique style modelled in part after Henrik Lundqvist, and how it allows him to better access the hands that almost led him to play baseball in college instead of hockey, as well as managing the push back it received from various coaches along the way.

It's a can't miss interview loaded with great lessons and take aways that should resonate with goalies, goalie coaches, and goalie parents at every level of the game.

All that, plus an in-person trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the Brians’s Optik 3 chest protector, which offers NHL-level protection with the rich finish we've come to expect from Brian's.
