Is Your Agent Hurting or Helping | Episode 135
In Episode 135 of the Goalie Science Podcast, Jamie and Derek dive headfirst into the wild world of youth hockey politics. From an all-star selection process that literally involved pulling names from a hat, to junior hockey decisions that shape careers, the guys lay out the real challenges families and goalies face. They also unpack early season anxiety, pregame pressure, and the role coaches play in shaping a goalie’s mindset—not just their mechanics. From U18 to the NAHL, from Olympic ice sizes to travel horror stories, this episode has everything. The best podcast for goalies, coaches, and parents who care about performance AND perspective.
