Episode 96 of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports features more than an hour with Zach Fucale, the former Major Junior and World Junior standout who recently signed with the Washington Capitals. 

In that very candid feature interview presented by Sense Arena, Fucale shares the excitement and hard work that went into a standout junior career — two trips to the Memorial Cup, including one win, plus two trips to the World Juniors where he came away with a gold medal and shares the Canadian record for most wins at the tournament. He also openly shares his struggles, and who he turned to, as his pro career didn't match that early promise as quickly as he would have hoped. If you've ever struggled as a goaltender - and who hasn't? - this will be an interview you are sure to learn from. Now, with success on the international stage in three Spengler Cups for Canada and a passion to refine his craft that has always been with him, he looks forward to the upcoming season.  Fucale's recent signing with Washington, where Coach Scott Murray teaches the importance of tracking, a longtime focus for Fucale, this latest stop in a six-year pro career may be the one that sees Fucale begin to climb the ladder to achieve his ultimate dream.

We also get the chance to talk entrepreneurship as Fucale is a partner in Living Sissu an outdoor activity and lifestyle company based in Montreal. And of course Fucale is another of the early pro adopters of Sense Arena, the VR training tool for goaltenders that we recently reviewed here at InGoal (unlocked, like all our reviews).

All that, plus a new twist on our weekly trip to the Hockey Shop as Woody turns vlogger to take Cam on a Christmas shopping trip for gifts both big and small that you can find for the goalie in your life.
