A few weeks ago, I was invited to be a guest instructor at Mitch Korn’s youth goalie camp in Edina, Minnesota. It was obviously a great experience being back on the ice as a goalie coach for a few days, but more importantly, it was a rare opportunity to learn from one of the best goalie coaches in the world, and from someone I consider a mentor.
A few days ago, I was interviewed by Columbus Blue Jackets digital content and community director Rob Mixer for a series of off-season blogs on the team’s improved goaltending situation.

A few days after my latest NHL.com article on Michael Houser was posted, I was approached by Frank Rekas from The Rat Trick for an interview on Houser and his potential as a future Panthers goaltender. Below is the intro paragraph from the interview, along with a link to the full article. A special thanks to Frank and The Rat Trick for reaching out to The Goalie Guild for my insights on Houser and his incredible story!
Michael Houser authored an exceptional story of perseverance when he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Florida Panthers on July 11.
At that moment, three years of mind-warping frustration caused by being passed over in three straight NHL Drafts was instantly wiped away thanks to four days of hard work — and one golden opportunity.
