Episode 343: Top Women's Goalie of the 2026 Olympics, Switzerland's Andrea Braendli.

Описание: Episode 343 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports (https://www.thehockeyshop.com/) , features the Top Women's Goalie of the 2026 Olympics, Switzerland's Andrea Braendli. 



In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena (https://hockey.sensearena.com/store) , Braendli discusses backstopping the Swiss women to just their second ever bronze medal in Milan with a 2-1 overtime win over Sweden after a series of 40-plus save performances just to get to the medal games. The 28-year-old shares stories and advice from her roots in the game playing mostly against boys growing up in Switzerland, and how she ended up winning a NCAA national championship at Ohio State before heading back overseas to play in Sweden, where she was named the league's top goalie. She talks technique, tactics and how to adjust to new coaching voices, including why some of her worst goalie coaches ended up being her best. 



In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App (https://www.stopitgoaltending.com/app...) , we talk about metrics and how to use (or better yet ignore) them, while also somewhat irincally introducing a new, free shot-tracking application developed by InGoal.



We also review this week’s Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Alex Lyon with some great advice on managing rush depth, and when to let go and just play on instinct. 



And in our weekly gear segment, we head to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, for a look at CCM's Phenom chest protector, which shrinks pro-level protection into a mobile unit for kids.
