Episode 57: Josh Robinson

Current Schwenningen Wild Wings goalie coach Josh Robinson stopped by the prohockeypod this week. We talked about his unusual path of playing AA most of his minor hockey career and his crazy jump to the USHL after only 6 AAA games to his name. He went on to play NCAA at Michigan Tech where he continued to grow his game and battle through adversity. After college, he signed pro with the Dallas Stars organization and began his AHL/ECHL goalie grind. Josh would venture over to EU on 2 different occasions in his playing career before returning back to the ECHL. After retiring, Josh began Goalie & Video Coaching in NA then heading to Germany, where he is starting his 3rd season in the DEL. Near the end, we jumped into Josh developing new ways of tracking/using analytics for goalies and implementing them into their training. It was honestly very interesting to see how he uses this kind of data and uses it to train his goalies so that in games they have already done these scenarios many times over. It was a pleasure to talk to Josh and pick his brain. Hope you enjoy!
