In this episode of The Hockey Review Podcast, I sit down with Ty Krivtsov, a Division I goalie at the University of Alaska Anchorage, to break down the real path to college hockey and what it takes to make it as a goaltender at the highest levels.
Ty walks through his entire goalie journey — from AAA hockey, to Shattuck-St. Mary's School, to getting cut from the USHL. We then talk about earning a spot in the NAHL with the Fairbanks Ice Dogs, losing a full season to injury, and the mental battle of coming back to eventually secure a Division I hockey commitment.
This episode dives deep into:
✅ Goalie development and the long road to D1 hockey
✅ Junior hockey setbacks, cuts, and injuries
✅ Mental toughness and confidence as a goalie
✅ What college hockey coaches actually look for
✅ Life as a D1 goalie at UAA
If you’re a goalie chasing college hockey, a junior player navigating adversity, or a hockey fan who wants honest insight into the process, this episode shows why goalie development is a marathon — not a sprint.
