Don't worry, he explains it all in detail, as well as several other great tips and advice on everything from vision training to mental approach.

In our Parents Segment, presented by the Stop It Goaltending U app, we tie in Lindgren's talk about vision training with a guest segment from his longtime sports vision coach, Josh Tucker of True Focus Vision in Minnesota, who explains what the first step should be for parents looking into adding some extra eye-hand training for their young goalie.

That includes everything from being a director of hockey operations in the NCAA to goalie coaching in the USHL, goalie scouting for the Tampa Bay Lighting, working with the Red Wings since 2019, and perhaps most relevant to this conversation, being USA Hockey's first goaltending development manager and helping to create the first goalie coach development program and 51 in 30 initiative.

In our recurring Parents Segment we discuss methods of recording shots on goal for parents - and more importantly our thoughts on why it may not be the best way to go - and what we think you should focus on.

All that, plus an in-person trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a closer look at the TRUE PX4 Hzrdus pads and gloves.

The referee may try squirting some water on the pegs which makes no difference. After the net is dislodged a few more times, as the frustration in the building increases, the referee warns the goalie - one more time and I have to give you a penalty. Nevermind that it wasn’t intentional, the referee succumbs to the pressure and takes it out on your kid.

That happened 20 years ago and it happens even more today as goalies using modern post-integration techniques like the RVH are constantly pushing off the posts, controlling slides with them and even trying to use them for leverage to push up and elevate to cover the top of the net on sharp angle plays.

Nobody likes to see their kid the centre of so much negative attention.  We all see our young goalies are just trying to do their job.

So what can you do?

This week Woody and Hutch tackle this question from different angles.

Woody, who is prone to the occasional bit of frustration, takes a preventative approach - there are peg systems that do a better job. Associations need to invest in them to let their goalies develop, playing the way the game is played.

Hutch turns it into a mindset lesson for parents and goalies.

While Woody’s solution is a good one - it won’t help you in the moment.

There is nothing your anger and frustration can help. There is nothing you can do to stop fans from complaining, coaches from yelling or players from pointing fingers. And even if the referee is in the wrong on how they deal with your kid - again, there is nothing you can do that will help.

So Hutch suggests that we all smile and move on. It’s more than ignoring a problem, it’s turning that problem into an opportunity and knowing that your response will give you an advantage - and that’s worth smiling about!

He describes it as a goalie superpower for so many situations.

If you get angry as a goalie then the others gain an advantage. Your focus moves from the puck and the play to the problem. And that is of no help when it’s time to make a save.

BUT if you smile and see this as your opportunity then you gain the advantage. As the opposition gets upset they lose focus. As they see you smiling they will often respond by becoming more upset. And when you see that happening - you’ve got the edge. So enjoy it.

And as a parent, while it takes a long time for you and your goalie to learn this important skill, you can start to smile because you know as others around you are growing impatient and angry - your goalie is smiling and loving the moment and the opportunity that they have.

It’s not easy to develop this skill. There will be times the net comes off and far too many seconds later it will go in and be called a good goal.  Indeed Hutch mentions in this episode one such occasion where a net was off a full 14 seconds before what was called a “good goal.” And while it’s hard to smile and move on there - anger does nothing but hurt.  But if you can put the problem behind you it’s a bit more reinforcement that your mental strength will set you apart from others and help you make the next save.

Give it a try next time things feel like they are going sideways.

Make smile and move on your goalie superpower.

Praised for his role as a mentor while playing by the goalie coaches in those organizations -- and current Canucks No. 1 Thatcher Demko -- the 34-year-old has some great advice on how to make yourself an invaluable teammate and playing partner, while still competing for more playing time.

From a revolving door of teammates to finding work while teams prioritize the development of their NHL drafted goaltenders, to the right mindset to work with multiple goalie coaches long the way, there are many great lessons in this episode for any goaltender or parent as LaCouvee was generous with his time and open with all of his answers.

We also take a trip to The Hockey Shop for a look at a piece of equipment we were surprised to see in stock and one that won't last long: Bauer's goalie-specific padded pants and undershirt, long a favourite right up to the NHL, where even the goalies like Carey Price stocked up as supply dwindled.

In addition to working with and learning from an incredible list of teammates and goalie coaches, Macintyre was also the reason cat-eye cages are no longer allowed in the CHL, and once scored a game-winning goal in overtime with the butt end of his stick.

Nilsson shares several great stories and lessons from his path to -- and through -- professional hockey, including learning reverse-VH while playing for Lulea in Sweden (which won't be a surprise to anyone who has read our story about the invention of the technique over there) only to be told by the Islanders goalie coaches in 2011 that it would never work in the NHL. Yikes.

Nilsson was also candid about his career getting kickstarted by access to better coaching and development resources in the KHL in 2014-15 than he'd been getting in the NHL up to that point. Add in a frank discussion on dark versus white equipment and his sick Brian's Beast gear at the end of his career, and this is a can't miss interview.

Speaking of great graphics, we also take a trip to The Hockey Shop to check out some sweet throwback looks now available on Vaughn's V9 line without having to make a custom order.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Enroth talks about his evolution from those early days in Sweden, to being drafted by the Buffalo Sabres and learning from Jim Corsi and with Ryan Miller, to his return to Europe after eight years with the Sabres, Dallas Stars, Los Aneles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs. Currently playing for Örebro HK in the Swedish Hockey League, Enroth shares some great lessons on succeeding as a 5-foot-10 goalie in today's game, how he still tries to learn from watching other NHL goalies even after 15 years (and who he likes to watch), the differences in coaching and style in Sweden compared to North America, and a great story about how he tried to get ahead of the reverse-VH curve when he was in the NHL by reaching out to Swedish coaches, who as we know led the way inventing the technique.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop to for a fun fashion show with Cam that includes camouflage, animal print and even some snakeskin, with era-appropriate theme music to match Woody's glam rock era haircut!

From undrafted in the OHL to drafted in the NHL out of tier-2 junior in just one season, to starring at the University of Wisconsin playing a style in which he purposely DID NOT square on the puck or shooter, to having to totally re-invent his style while playing pro, to NHL All Star Games and being one of just 76 goalies in the history of the league to play 500 games, it's been a remarkable journey full of lessons that Elliott shares with us.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, Ferguson shares plenty of stories from an unusual past year and a half that included everything from being at the outdoor game in Lake Tahoe with the Golden Knights — and what he learned from Vezina Trophy winner Marc-Andre Fleury — to his first shutout in the American Hockey League, to a .920 save percentage and then a championship run with the Fort Wayne Komets in the ECHL. Ferguson, who made his NHL debut as a 19-year-old emergency call up way back in 2017-18, also shares a lot of great advice on how to manage your game and mind during the game that goalies and goalie parents of all ages can use to help them.

An energetic, self-deprecating member of the Goalie union, Fry has plenty of insight and tips for how you can improve your mental game in the same way he has helped the many goaltenders he has worked with over the years. You can work with Pete by reading the many articles he has published at InGoal and through his Goalie Mindset Academy.

All that plus another trip to The Hockey Shop to talk about the new Bauer line of goal skates -  the Bauer Pro, Elite and GSX, that replace both the Vapor and Supreme lines of the past.
