Episode 95 Collin Delia

Episode 94 of the InGoal Radio Podcast presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports features more than an hour with the man Woody dubs "The Most Interesting Goalie in the World," Collin Delia of the Chicago Blackhawks.In that feature interview presented by Sense Arena, Delia, who looks to take on an increased role in Chicago this season with the departure of Corey Crawford, was a fascinating and open interview with a decidedly laid back feel that we all enjoyed. You'll learn a bit about his life as a new father, starting hockey as a roller hockey goalie in California, living, his Swiss coaching roots, and training in Chicago now and getting outside your comfort zone. You'll also hear about life inside the NHL bubble as a black ace where he had to take control of his own training - a good lesson for all goaltenders. Of course if you love gear, you'll enjoy all the chat about modifying his gear to dial it in and even fix it himself. While it doesn't come up in the interview, we wonder if perhaps that led to Delia and his partner starting the Portiere Leather Company.All that, plus another trip to The Hockey Shop for a fresh and fun video gear segment as Woody and Cam complete their Two Men in Chests mini-series looking at the Vaughn Velocity V9 Pro Carbon Senior Chest & Arm Protector, with some adjustability features we loved, plus added protection with that same Vaughn mobility goalies love.
