In episode 300 of the Glass and Out Podcast we celebrate the milestone with a very special guest: LA Kings Director of Goaltending Bill Ranford.

Not only was Ranford one of the original presenters at our TCS Live coaching conference back in 2012, he'll be returning to the stage in June for this year's edition of hockey's premier coaching conference. And to top it off, he is the childhood hero of our host Aaron Wilbur.

Ranford has spent the last 19 seasons with the Kings, 17 as the goaltending coach and the last two as Director. 

As a goalie, he led the 1990 Edmonton Oilers to a Stanley Cup with a Conn Smythe performance. He also led Canada to the 1991 Canada Cup and helped his country capture its first Gold Medal in over 30 years at the World Hockey Championships 1994. 

Listen as he shares why detail and work ethic have to be the foundation of every player's game, learning new tools, and why goalies need to have their own unique identity.
