About this listen

In Episode 137 of the Goalie Science Podcast, Jamie and Derek dig deep into Canada’s World Junior Championship loss and the public outcry that followed. They examine whether the Canadian player development model is flawed, tackling issues like open borders, super teams, lack of adversity, and overemphasis on early winning. They challenge reactionary takes blaming CHL imports, half-ice hockey, and goalie selection. They also discuss goaltending performances across the tournament, the impact of structured vs unstructured youth environments, and why North American goalies may be falling behind. The episode wraps with a discussion on nepotism in hockey, injury load management, and updates on upcoming podcast guests. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
