Episode 344 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Tampa Bay Lightning, Syracuse Crunch goalie -- and recently named AHL goalie of the month -- Brandon Halverson.

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Halverson shares lessons and insights from a long, often winding journey to his first NHL start last season with the Lightning, more than a decade after being picked in the second by the New York Rangers in the 2014 NHL Draft. It's a path that included playing second division in Germany after injuries forced him out for almost two seasons, and at one point working as a delivery driver as he worked his way back from multiple surgeries, before starting his comeback in the ECHL and earning his way up to the AHL and then the NHL. It's a can't miss chat filled with great advice, both between the pipes technically and tactically, and between the ears with mindset tips.

In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about what to do when the season comes to an end, as it has for many minor hockey families, to give give everyone proper closure.

We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Matt Murray with breaking down how to managed post play and posture on an angled rush attack versus a low-high passing play.

And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at the new True Project X stick, with a lively mid-kick flex, sharp graphics and weighing in at just 535 grams.
