World Junior Drama, Coaching Mistakes, Q & A | Episode 136
In the first-ever in-person episode of Goalie Science, Jamie and Derek sit down over the holidays to unpack a wild year in goalie development, coaching lessons, and hot takes. They break down Canada’s World Junior goaltending, the controversy around RVH glove positioning, and which trends are downright dangerous (literally). They also get personal: their biggest coaching mistakes, whether single-goalie or shared-crease is best, and what makes coaching girls so different from boys. To close, they reflect on highlights from the year—including Ghost’s expansion, Junior A jumps, and big wins on and off the ice—and fire off their boldest 2026 predictions yet.
