🏒 There are a lot of people teaching Hockey. Very few are actually advancing our understanding of it. John Healy is one of those people that doesn’t mind being first through the wall. A former QMJHL scout, Prep School Coach and now a private NHL Player Development Specialist. Co-founder of Clear Sight Analytics. More importantly, a relentless student of the game. If you’re serious about hockey, this podcast is full of ideas worth adopting into your game, practice and player development. open.spotify.com/episode/0qU…

Couldn’t be a prouder parent seeing our oldest graduating from SFU with first class distinction — and in half the time and half the schools it took her dad 😳

Thanks to Basil and @customcagesca for making sure at least my mask looks good on the ice — and for the last-second change to the John Garrett tribute on the backplate
New mask wrap for our 'Woody' thanks to brilliant Basil at @customcagesca ... backplate was originally "that's not goaltending, that's falling with style" in honour of OG Toy Story but had to audible with a John Garrett tribute Thanks for making us look pro at fraction of cost!

Never hesitate to share this because the Carolina part is crazy but holy hell Lankinen not having a .600 is incredible.

Seeing in Cup Final why Carolina’s goalies had 3 of the 7 lowest expected save percentages in the NHL; may not spend a lot of time defending or see a lot of quantity but they sure give up a lot of high % looks

Shoulda posted this after Game 3 but anytime goalie comes in after that much time off and looks as good as Bussi did in NHL playoff debut, it’s a credit to both goalie and goalie coach (Paul Schonfelder in this case) for the work they’ve put in during goalie ice and practices

Not sure there’d be many more different NHL scouting reports than Andersen vs Bussi and goes a lot deeper than hand catch with … Also, Vegas best in playoffs creating “dirty” chances/goals with traffic, tips, rebounds bounces. Bussi has excellent #s esp on screens rebounds

Why not get some suspenders on this June with the @menshealthfdn . Suspenders On is a simple sign of support to start an important conversation and remind us guys we don’t have to deal with health alone. #SuspendersOn suspenderson.ca/

Matt has been one of the best in this format, starting years ago with a 9 minute breakdown on screen management so thorough it could have been a TED Talk, so any time he’s gracious enough to spend time breaking down video and plays, the goalie union should be grateful 🙏
Sample from latest Pro Reads presented by @vizualedge featuring Matt Murray of the Seattle Kraken and recored using the CoachNow App on an iPad Entire video breakdown is at InGoal, along with hundreds more like it!

Not sure it will matter who is in goal if these defensive metrics from Game 3 don’t improve significantly for Sabres
Defense optional in Montreal last night? 👀 at the @csahockey numbers

Hockey Hall of Fame should be the next stop … just need voters to stop thinking of goalie coaches as “just another assistant” and recognize some truly changed the position, how it’s taught, and in doing so, how the game is played in front of them
Congratulations on an incredible career, Benny! Wishing you all the best in retirement 💙❤️

Talking hockey with Punch McLean was 1 of of things I will never forget. The mayor of Queens Park has sadly passed away. No one loved hockey more the Punch. It was in his blood. RIP Punch New Westminster will never forget you.

If you’re not familiar with the tale of Vancouver hockey legend Ernie “Punch” McLean, this CBC article on him narrowly surviving a 4 day/5 night ordeal in the bush while in his mid-70s is an absolute must read. The don’t make ‘em like Punch anymore. RIP: cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

Scott Wedgewood lifted SCup with Tampa but never got his name on it. Former journeyman is now 6-0 as PO starter for Avalanche. “It shouldn't be me (starting), just based on my career. But I have been working for it. And I'll do everything I can.” sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/lon…

During the pandemic, Scott Wedgewood wondered if he was going to have to go overseas to keep his career going. Six years later, he’s starting on the Stanley Cup favorite. Here’s how he got there and why his personality has made him a fan favorite ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/7259320…
