Wednesday evening at the 2015 NHL Awards, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price took home a treasure chest's worth of shiny hardware. On top of winning the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player, Price won the Vezina, the Ted Lindsay Award, and a share of the William M. Jennings Trophy as well. Price has been one of the best goalies in the world for quite some time, but you may be wondering what pushed his game to the elite levels he reached this past season.
Extra practice sessions? More focus? Natural progression? We've got the answer for you...the Goalie Lama. You know the Halifax Highlanders' netminder better by his birth name, Marco Belchior, but when he's working to groom top goaltending talent into living legends, he's known simply as the Goalie Lama. Belchior recently sat down with Price on the set of his Regina local access talk show, 'In Your 5 Hole with Marco Belchior.' Watch as Belchior takes you to a place no hockey fan had been before -- Carey Price's five-hole.

Helping a goalie find their mind's eye is no easy task. It takes an immense amount of concentration and as you can see from our set photos, Belchior takes his preparation very seriously.
Of course, even with Belchior's all-knowing wisdom, it would be rather tough for NHL caliber goalies to take the Goalie Lama's advice if he himself was not a top-level professional tender. But don't just go by his HUT card stats, Belchior has a lot more to offer than his 62 rebound control rating implies.
On top of hosting one of the top shows on Regina local access television, Belchior is also a spokesman for one of the preeminent hockey tape companies this side of Lake Erie -- Lanigan Factory clear tape. Belchior is Lanigan Factory's lead brand ambassador, but a few other players you may have heard of know to "get it."
Thank you for tuning into 'In Your 5 Hole with Marco Belchior.' If you would like to continue seeing the Goalie Lama impart his wisdom on world class players, give the BarDown accounta tweet. Until then, keep scanning the Regina local access schedules to see when Belchior will make his return between the pipes. Oh, and Lanigan Factory clear tape...get it!
