  • Great for all Goalies

    All goalies at all age levels have to deal with the same kinds of pressures from coaches to playing time and other problems. This podcast shines light on these widely avoided uncomfortable topics that are “taboo” to most goalies. This is great for the goalies that are going through or have gone through these kinds of struggles.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trey Augustine: Signed with the Detroit Red Wings & Former Michigan State University Goaltender
Q: What was going through your head when you finally heard your name called by Detroit?
I felt a mix of disbelief and excitement, grateful for the support from my family and everyone who helped me reach that point, and I immediately started thinking about representing Michigan and contributing to the organization's future.
Trey Augustine: Signed with the Detroit Red Wings & Former Michigan State University Goaltender
Q: Did teams call you or talk to you before? What did that look like, and how did you feel about being drafted by your hometown.
Teams would come in every few weeks for interviews and conversations while I was at the NTDP, then I progressed through the Combine with many interviews before Nashville hosted the draft; being picked by Detroit felt like a full-circle moment and the dream of playing for the Wings.
Talent Sets the Floor, Character Sets the Ceiling
Q: How can I stay consistent with training when life throws distractions at me?
Set a compelling goal, use daily reminders that mean something, and commit to doing things others won't do, including rest days treated as productive time.
Talent Sets the Floor, Character Sets the Ceiling
Q: What does it mean to mature as a player when your coach says you need to mature?
It means reducing distractions, showing up with less ego, and learning to perform the right behaviors consistently, both in practice and in games.
Johnny Hicks: 2026 National Champion & University of Denver Goaltender
Q: How did you handle early career doubts about your size and role?
I focused on my routine, trusted my goalie coach, remained patient, and used every practice rep to improve. Eventually, the first big opportunity came, and I treated it like it could be my last game, which helped me perform under pressure.
