The well-spoken 22-year-old shares how she learned to handle big moments and crowds during a standout NCAA career at Colgate University that included a .937 career save percentage and being team captain as a senior, as well as a lot of other great tips and advice from her path to pro, including why she prefers a floating-T in the pocket of her glove

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Budaj takes us through some of the most important lessons -- on and off the ice -- from an NHL career twice derailed with prolonged stints in the AHL, and the transition to coaching. From breaking into pro hockey alongside boyhood idol Patrick Roy, to finding your own game while playing alongside some of the world's best -- his partners included Carey Price, Jonathan Quick and Andrei Vasilevskiy -- the importance of great fitness, and how to succeed in the backup role, Budaj shares several great lessons for goalies of all ages and skill levels.

Episode 339 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a fantastic interview with top Montreal Canadiens puck-stopping prospect Jacob Fowler (and a couple shorter chats with southpaw Andrei Vasilevskiy, fellow fighter Alex Nedeljkovic and veteran Jake Allen).
In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we catch up with Fowler shortly after returning to Laval of the AHL following his first big stint up with the Canadiens and get to know the 21-year-old and his unique path to pro, including growing in a non-traditional hockey market in Florida, long drives to the rink that reminded us of Carey Price's early years (minus the plane), and playing a wide variety of sports long after many of his peers were specializing in one. A gold medal winner at the World Junior A Championships and World Junior Championships, a USHL champion, MVP and top goalie, and a two-year standout at Boston College, including winning the Mike Richter Award as the top goalie in the NCAA, this is a can't miss get-to-know-Fowler interview.

In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, Skinner talks about a range of topics surrounding his move to Pittsburgh, with lessons for goalies of all ages on maintaining a positive growth mindset, working on his game with a new goalie coach, and the privilege of practising every day with legends of the game — from McDavid and Draisaitl in Edmonton to now with the Penguins and Crosby, Malkin, and more.

Episode 337 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a pair of Edmonton Oilers prospects with great stories to share: the debut of Connor Ungar and the return of Matt Tomkins.  
In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we start with Ungar sharing lessons from one of the most unique seasons in recent memory. He has played for three different teams in the ECHL before getting called up to the American Hockey League and somehow posting an 11-1-4 record with a save percentage north of .944 for all four teams, including 6-0-0 with a .955 right now in Bakersfield. And it's all come as an undrafted free agent who spent a season at Brock University (not unlike Logan Thompson) after playing four seasons in the CHL.
Speaking of unconventional paths, we also catch up with Tomkins, who went from two seasons in Sweden to his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning before signing with his hometown Oilers this summer, and continues to show he's capable of playing at the highest level all while openly sharing lessons learned along the way. That includes offseason time with osteopath James Wendland, whose popular training tips have been featured regularly at InGoal Magazine.
