STOP Making Stick Saves | GOALIE SCIENCE Episode 129
In Episode 129 of the Goalie Science Podcast, Jamie and Derek go toe-to-toe in a hilariously heated debate: Are stick saves overrated? Jamie demands more rebounds off sticks—Derek says “just wear better pads.” But beyond the chirps and chaos, the guys dig into serious conversations about goalie development, AAA politics, and the question every goalie parent asks: How do we know it’s working? They share strategies for tracking progress, reflect on their own careers, and call out coaches who use “development” as an excuse not to challenge players. Plus, shoutouts to NCAA standouts, first Junior A goals, and a new First Phorm partnership announcement.
