Episode 270 with Max Paddock

InGoal Radio Podcast

Episode 269 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a fascinating interview with Max Paddock, who went from Memorial Cup All Star at age 17, to playing college volleyball, and is now back in the CHL as a goaltending coach.

In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Paddock takes us through his unique path back to recently being named the Regina Pats goalie coach more than six years after starting for them at the Memorial Cup, including his break to play volleyball in university while working towards a kinesiology degree he will now finish while coaching. It's a fascinating journey filled with valuable lessons for other goalies and coaches from an athlete whose family is deeply rooted in both sports -- his father, Russ, on the volleyball side at Brandon University and his uncle John having spent 30 years coaching and managing in the WHL, AHL and NHL.

In our Parents Segment, presented by the Stop It Goaltending U app, we list all the important elements that will go into having your best season ever as a goalie parent. That segment is a look back at a more in-depth article at InGoal which is unlocked for all to enjoy without an InGoal subscription.
