Episode 252 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a fun and informative conversation with Vegas Golden Knights goalie Jiri Patera.

In the feature interviews presented by NHL Sense Arena, Patera, who has play time between Vegas and the AHL Henderson Silver Knights this season and last, shares stories and insights on his path from the Czech Republic, the key role his dad played despite not wanting him to be a goalie at first, why his dad still paints his NHL masks, and what it's like to make your NHL debut with one of your goaltending idols, Jonathan Quick, watching from the bench.

In our Parents Segment, presented by the Stop It Goaltending U app, we answer a popular question: when should my young goalie get an agent (or family advisor for those wanting to play NCAA), with help from special guest Ray Petkau of Alpha Sports.

All that, plus a trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the ever-evolving and expanding options for neck protection, including some options built into an undershirt.
