Episode Details

This week Topher and Jeff talk with Steve Thompson, Manager of Player Development for Goaltending for USA Hockey. Thompson played college hockey at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and now is an integral part of USA Hockey’s goaltending development. This episode has so many great nuggets not just for our goalies, but coaches, parents, and players too!

In this episode we talk about:

— Thompson’s unique experience at the Beijing Olympics having to quarantine because of Covid

— Advice for non-goalie coaches to help their goalies in games, practices, etc.

— The shortage of goaltenders and why it is a big deal

— How goalies should choose what team to play for

AND SO MUCH MORE!
