InGoal Radio Podcast: Chat with Jets prospect Domenic Divincentiis. In the feature interview Dom Divincentiis talks about his experience as a young pro at the Jets camp, his training and preparation that has taken him to this point in his career, learning to deal with nerves in big moments such as his first NHL preseason game, and the development of his technique under the direction of the Jets coaching staff along with his coaches in the summer and in North Bay. The entire interview is a fantastic lesson for young goaltenders looking to move to the next level about the work required, the mental approach to support it and the importance of being open to change even though you have had so much success already.
