Episode 263 with Alex Cavallini

InGoal Radio Podcast

Episode 263 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features two-time USA Olympian and five-time world championship gold-medal winner Alex Cavallini.

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, we caught up with Cavallini (formerly Alex Rigsby before getting married) at the first ever USA Hockey National Goaltending Symposium in Minnesota and talked about both everything from the state of the women's game (she played 2 seasons in the PWHPA and was the CWHL Goaltender of the Year in his one season with Calgary in that league), as well as in the United States. We also talked about being a still fairly new mom, her work with the St. Louis Blue and Chicago Blackhawks, and her roots in the game in Wisconsin, including parents who didn't want her to be a goalie at first before growing to love being goalie parents -- and the need to educate other parents about those stereotypes -- the evolution of the decision to play versus boys or other girls, and so much more in this can't miss interview.

In our Parents Segment, presented by the Stop It Goaltending U app, we enlist the help of four-time Stanley Cup champion Bill Ranford to help goalie parents deal with how to respond when other parents are making negative comments about your young goalie.

And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a closer look at the new Bauer KONEKT 2, with a sleek all-black look and plenty of new features and improvements.
