whare are you from
“I’m a firm believer in ‘if you’re going to fail, you might as well fail spectacularly.’”
And look good doing it!
Thank you Trav!!! Practicing on a small piece of synthetic puck handling with the different grips. Appreciate all you do!!!
I appreciate you watching what I do brother! Thank you as always man
Awesome vid Trav, loved these! I’ve been using the baseball on the bottom of your foot trick for years and have told tons of people about it. So I can attest to the benefits!
Might try fiddling with my strapping now tho, thanks!!
It’s game changing to how you feel eh
man i can't get over how thin the pads are these days. I'm so jelly. Plus the modern style adapted and made easier by the equipment design would have suited my play perfectly. I miss playing net so much.
Time to get back into the game brother! youll love it
@@trav4oilers I wish I could homie, 2 hip replacements say otherwise lol, I am working my way back into skating slowly. I can still play up once I get back into shape and get my legs stronger. Been light skating with my grand kids. :)
@@beezer5623 Yeah it’s been a long time for me as well I actually miss the feeling of getting hit by the puck
I tested some pads last year vs my ol' leather straps...it's like 30% lighter or more depending on how old your leather goes. The material slides fast on the ice as well. Wasn't sure how I would like it on my first game. And it took like 3 games for me to see the benefits. But by the 6th or 7th game I played I was sold.
This was one of the best videos you have ever done! It's awesome your sharing your knowledge about the position with all of us. Thanks for doing this Trav. Great job putting the video together!! It was very well done.
Jack this video is 5 months old, where have you been ;) thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the tips
@@trav4oilers lol must have missed this one when it came out. Glad I got the chance to watch it even if I'm a few months late. Hope your season is going well and your staying in touch with your family and friends back home too. Keep after it Trav! You got this!!
I love that last 2 subtle teases with your new Bauer gear😉 Can’t wait to see everything!
All of it getting unveiled on Monday!
Just found the channel after getting back into hockey and goaltending after a few years away. I'm so rusty on the ice, but my 4th period has never been better. Love the content, Trav - have already applied a few tips. Long ways to go, but they help.
Thanks for giving me a chance bro and stoked to here you hoped back on the ice. All the best and see ya soon!
Thanks for the tips, Trav! Can confirm the Pro Laces are great, and I tried the dangler trick last season, like it way better
Thanks buddy, glad both helped. Which laces did you end up going with?
@@trav4oilers went with the pro spec, the Trav Spec wasn't available yet!
Thanks Trav, for this video… I’m a fan of you. Thanks for continuing to post!!
Thanks for continuing to watch Calvin ;) I appreciate your support
Good tips Trav.
My Optik 3's are all Velcro so not much room for adjustability but it's fine.
As far as danglers go I was going through 2-3 a year and I prefer the head mobility of no dangler & just try & tuck my chin on shots up high.
Plus any goalie knows it's really all about sty, as Jeremy Clarkson once said "Looking good is more important than looking where you're going."
You break 3 a year from pucks
Hitting them or
@@trav4oilers Yeah I'm only 5'11" and guys love going up high on me and not everyone is a sniper so occasionally they roll up a bit and catch me in the neck region. A few good strikes and the dangler explodes.
great job! just sub'sd this guy..very helpful vids...great to see a video on goalie skates sharpening? is it 3/8 or 1/2 the better cut for goalie skates? thanks
Excellent video, so many key tips. I can't thank you enough. If there was one "light bulb" moment I had it was; the shooting tip and to grip the stick with the bottom part of the glove. I'm weak in the shooting dept and often disperse ducks up the ice. This is something I want to improve upon greatly before next season. Thanks again sir and keep up the great goalie content.
Hope it can help Jim, thanks for watching man. I have a part 2 coming next month. Highly requested :)
Thanks for the hacks Trav. Won't use them all but a few of them will definitely help considerably. Stay safe. Peace!
Anything that helps you is a win for me brother. Thanks for always watching!
Thank you Trav! I really needed a video like this keep up the good work!
Glad it could help man, I'll have a new one coming soon :)
I dont even play hockey, but in Sweden I used to play floorball as a goalie, when I am home I will try to show you a game Trav! The best goalie coaches in floorball has combined that with hockey and the results has helped both games at shl level in Sweden ❤️
See ya soon. Hampus
That was a fun video!!! Nice lil change of pace from the real life content recently..
Fuck my life, enough of that hahah thanks as always brother
Went with a new bauer chesty, kinda curious to see your review on it if there is gonna be one I've have pretty bad luck with bauer gear personally but it looks silky asf.
Retail vs Pro custom are night and day different
That Hyperlite chesty looks dope, thanks for sharing your tips buddy !
Thanks for watching as always and commenting man. You’re a stud
I have eflex 4 pro pads and love the Velcro straps but I had to spend like a week constantly skating when I got them because they basically just have one tightness setting
It's brutal eh
@@trav4oilers I kinda love it actually because after you get used to it there is no way you can strap it differently so you can’t mess it up
2 hacks for you:
1. Dangler - I put some of those felt circles that go on the bottom of chairs on the inside of my dangler to remove the announce of the clanking it makes.
2. Music - I put motorcycle helmet speakers and a mic into my helmet. Amazon sells them for like $15 on the cheap end. Nice for practice, pickup, or if you're wild like me discord with my brother and girlfriend when I'm in a game and they are on the bench.
So you're listening to music on the ice? lol
this is a great video and picked up a few things that will help me next (if) time I play.
Awesome man! Happy to be able to help you brother. Cheers
I’m curious to know how you get your positioning consistent. I tend to use the posts to orient myself to start but as soon as I start moving I start to lose my spot and that’s when I tend to let bad goals in where I wasn’t covering part of the net.
I still loose it from time
To time. Just lots of practice man
I know I’m not the same as a pro goalie but I play u14aaa and it just takes a bunch of reps to know where you are in the net but also I know some people that use land marks like the dots to know where the corner of the crease is and help find where they are in the net
Playing 5 days a week to build that familiarity with your angles where you subconsciously understand how to orient yourself with the dots/boards/posts (everyone loves to have a goalie at open hockey) works great (until you go play a tournament on olympic ice or some weird smaller rink and you get scored on far side from the half boards lol)
Just wanted to say thanks for this video. My 8yr old has been player, going on 4 yrs now. He just recently became obsessed with goalie. We have been watching all kinds of videos. My 12 yr old has been playing 8/9 yrs, he just got double hat trick TWO games in row!! I wish I could post a picture here.
Thank you for the hacks, Trav :). Keep it up and NEVER give up!
Glad you're enjoying man,. thanks for watching ;)
Haha the bonus tip is 🔥!!!! Also love the False hockey hat 😂
You just like it cause you were in the video ;)
I’ve done quite a bit of metal work on aircraft and one of the most important things is filling and sanding the cut edges very smooth, #1 it allows you to bend without it breaking, I would think on carbon fiber hockey stick it should definitely help to keep the stick from cracking and the fibers from spreading …give that a try…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Guess I gotta smooth it next time, thank you brother
I like the #35 on your Gold jersey, nice little nod to Tommy B. from the Pens.
Great tips, actually great. Love the false hat, true-ly stylish!
Now that is truly funny ;)
Thanks. I’m a freshman in high school who’s played hockey since I was 4, but I started goalie this year. This helps!
Congrats on the switch buddy. Hope you fall in love with the position and these tips help
@@trav4oilers I already have it’s the most fun I’ve had and we won a game 5-2 last night! It’s amazing
This video was awesome! I have 2 boys and they both played/play tender. Any good tips for really breaking in trappers?? I've been doing the old water trick and leaving taped underneath something heavy for 24 hours. Did this a couple times. Always stiffens back up. Other than just use, do you have any other tips??
Thanks for watching Nolan, I'm gonna do a 2nd updated version of this in the summer and that'll be in it. Honestly I just wear around the house, put it in the bathroom with the shower as hot as it goes to steam it, and use it on ice. Best break in method
This is very helpful trav, thanks man
Glad I could help you brother. Thanks for watching buddy
That passing one really helped! Thx bud want more or these
Part 2 may have to come soon
Oh yeah!
Hey Trav, how do the pro laces compare to the active toe system on the warrior G4s?
Warrior laces are way too tight. I promise you these will change your game. If they don’t, I’ll refund you myself
Nice hacks Trav! Appreciate you sharing!
Appreciate you watching as always Irfan! You’re a regular brother and I love it
Is there an advantage to shaving your stick vs just getting a stick with a shorter paddle?
Any thoughts on sticks with asymmetric shoulders on the paddle (like the new True Catalyst 9X)? NB I’m only asking about the shape of the stick.
Just more so not to handicap your elbow and hand when getting down for low blocker saves I believeTRUE makes garbage sticks so
Code Travsucks! Haha top shelf broski!!!!! Great vid man thx
I can’t wait to see the game day vlogs
Coming hopefully in September
I’ve been doing the tight on the bottom part of the pad and loose in the top for a while and it works awesome
Glad I aint the only one, thanks for watching man. Hope you like the recent videos I got posted for you
@@trav4oilers your welcome hope you do good in the upcoming season good luck man
I've gone back to leather behind the knee. It pulls the pad back to a vertical position in the butterfly and prevents the "V". Similar in theory to why many pad manufacturers are using stiffer integrated kneeblocks.
Loved the vid trav
Love you buddy!
Wow lots of thing I did not know like the baggage thing was a wow to me. but the lacrosse ball I did know and I use it lots great vid trav when are you getting to Sweden
Travel safe big guy and see ya in the next one
I leave for Sweden next month brother! Looking forward to it
Insta X3 360 on the boards or on a pole off center bar of the net offers great views. Like your knowledge in this video. A good break from your norm. Glad to see you starting to mature and understand more.
Guess I’ll do my top 10 hacks and we can compare and critique each other ?
Thanks man, video is about 2 years old but glad you enjoyed :)
I appreciate this trav
I appreciate you as always brother
Awesome hacks Trav ! Thanks
Thanks for watching as always brother
hey trav! does it matter if i have all my gear in one bag or should i get a normal bag and carry my pads separately?
Whartever works for you man. All your gear should still be 1 piece. Check out my hacks video for flying with gear :)
I read a interview with my favorite goalie of all time. This was during the 2000 playoffs. He said after every practice he would take 50 pucks and shoot forehand and 50 pucks backhand. I try and do this all the time. I admit 50 pucks is alot.
What goalie was that
@@trav4oilers Martin Brodeur
@@christopherenger1602 doesn’t suprise me definitely the best goalie with his puck handling skills I also met him irl
Bauer hyperlite in gold eh? Really interested to see what you think about those pads (you know, assuming thats a teaser for a future video).
Full video tomorrow bro
Will definitely use some of these
Hope these actually help you brother. Thank you ro watching :)
Switching to a Turco grip was huge for me playing the puck. I still suck, and I don't even think I can backhand it as I've never tried, but it's a game changer
It's the only way to puck handle man, thanks for watching :)
For the style hack if you are wearing suspenders you can actually sow the clips they attach to on the inside of your pants, so that way they dont interfere with the jersey tuck
Yes and that would be fresh AF!
The Hyperlite chesty is on point! Damn!
Shush! Full unveiling on monday!
Recently cut about 3 to 4 inches off the top of my stick (like Carey Price) and it made a huge difference for puck handling. My shot isn't quite as powerful but it's more accurate and much better for the 95 percent of the time goalies play the puck in shorter range.
Yup if you put the notes on your booking
I was really hard on my inside edges and needed to sharpen them between periods or even play stoppages. I always stuck a small flat piece of sharpening stone inside a finger pocket of my catching glove and could get in a few swipes to deburr the inside edge in seconds.
thats good to know brother :)
Thanks for the tips. I'm a goalie for the geezer league and I start on Monday!
How'd it go?
@thatoneguy1407 Good thanks. I made some good saves but let in a few I should of had.
@@booman3138 That's awesome to hear! Hope you stick with it for the long run!
@thatoneguy1407 thank you. I got a nice bruise on my thigh from the puck missing my pads but I plan on hanging in there
@@booman3138 Happens to the best of us! I've got a series of giant purple bruises going down the length of my right arm from my most recent game. They are quite the conversation starter!
I started playing goal in the late 60s and things were so different.Never had to pay for my gear while flying.Things certainly have changed.Something I find interesting is besides the occasional broken finger and cuts,I got injured more playing baseball.I did have a few concussions but I never missed time due to that .Also our gear was like cardboard compared to modern stuff.I'm paying for the head injuries now however.
Hey thanks for watching kev. Game has def changed a lot since then. Goaltending and UFC MMA may be the 2 most technical sporting positions on the planet. The old cardboard gear is so timeless
#3!!! Yes - makes perfect sense - thanks :)
Hope it helps victor . thanks for watching ;)
Small skate hack on older pads with screw in tow bridges. Flip the toe bridge around to point backwards and use with modern elastic toe ties.
Genius stuff! Thanks for the suggestion brother
for the first hack, someone in front of me had 50.08 lbs, so they opened up their suitcase and ate a bag of chips
Now that is how you save overage fees
for shaving the paddle would it work on the bauer prodigy 3.0 goalie stick?
Full video tutorial coming on Wednesday
@@trav4oilers awesome ur my fav youtuber
Little hack for your defender to gain a second against forecheck (when he’s behind the net). Move as far forward in your crease when the forchecker (opponent) rushes your defender it will make him decide whether to go left or right one second earlier and allow your defender to take the right decision.
The ol decoy to the corner! Thanks fro watching Yassine!
Do you know what roller players typically do for boot straps or toe ties?
For the dangler trick I had broke like my 5th one in a season last year so I just stopped using one and I have a maltiese neck guard which is all foam so I don’t even notice it
All depends if they're breaking or not I guess
Nice! I can use all 10. Thanks!
Hope it helps Robby
Hack that I use for probably 2 or 3 years now is putting the snow u get in the crease around the post. It has bailed me out of many wraps and bad bounces with the puck. Example I went behind the net to play it and it took a weird ass bounce off the Zam door. Bounced in such a way it could've just been a tap in goal but the snow came in clutch and stopped it behind the post
Yesssssss I used to do that as well. Refs kick it out sometimes
good vid ima start taping the blade like that
Hope it helps buddy!
@@trav4oilers yea it does lots more momentum time to get them goalie goals :D
Done the backhand RVH glove thing for 20 years. Old baseball trick that cuts angle when guys try to slide a centering pass in tight.
Ok so I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking like this ;) thanks for watching Pete :)
i used eethe rvh glove on the ice for a while and then once my goalie coach saw he said not to because the spot you have it in is already covered and its brining you down leaving more room above your head. not sure if you had thses issues but thats what ive been told
Yeah it double covers but what’s the point of giving pucks off the pucks. Pucks in tight, why not get lower. Refer to the videos from December with Pasco for why!
I only use it when the pick is too close to go over bottom half other than that I don't use it
Do you have any tips on breaking in a glove? I’ve done most of the methods. But my Bauer gsx glove won’t close all the way.
Wear it around the house and use it man. Leave in the bath room when you shower so it steams. I got a glove break in video too. cheers
Me and you wear our pads the same way. I got rid of the dangler and got the neck guard that alot of the nhl guys wear.
Which guard do they wear?
The same one kasimir wears the ccm pro clavicle and neck guard. I got a pro stock one from Tampa last year when we first started to talk.
@@trav4oilers its call the ccm BNQ shirt. It is warm but man i feel like a brick wall with that much neck and collar bone protection.
Seeing how recent this video is, I want to ask a question about the flight/baggage stuff:
My leg pads DO fit in my bag, but wagering my gear all bagged up doesn't quite come in at >50lbs. If the leg pads are (plastic) bagged separate from your main bag, are they now _weight separately_ but still considered all _one piece_ of luggage for being sports equipment? If that's true, that's a handy hack, and I'm going to start bring my gear everywhere with me lol
Should be all one piece my friend!
7:18 those pads with the avs colours are so clean
Yup. Would love to see gru going for the darker gear with avs color would look sick
@@galifianakis2808 cash money
Best style in Sweden, no question
He trav which vid is the goalie glove hack in the rvh can you send me the link for the glove hack thanks
It would be the "we have. a problem" from February or any of the hockey canada videos from December man
@@trav4oilers Thanks a lot man appreciate it
Would it be insane to try playing goalie if you’re almost 15 and have been playing forward since you were 7? I really want to try for fun maybe at a practice but I’m scared I won’t like it.
No you can start at any point in time, its just too late to make it . thanks for watching man, hope you enjoy todays new vlog :)
Can you make a video on how to break in certain types of gloves in with the best methods because I’m struggling with most of mine
I have a video on how I break in gloves already. Best method is wearing it around the house too. Thanks for watching Colin
Some damn good hacks !
Where are yours
@@trav4oilers I just happened to get a GREAT video idea
Hay trav, what is the best Pantera song of all time? For me it is The Sleep, It has the best solos ever
Walk, or PuckOff. No doubt
Thanks for another sweet video. You should have blurred that TRUE-skate logo. 😉
Too late now! That footage is old
AF! Thanks for watching brother
I really enjoyed this video 👍🏼 it was nice to have something els other then a vlog👏🏼
Let’s be honest, we get tired of the vlog sometimes
@@trav4oilers let’s get a house tour next
Beside the bungee cord I was doing all of these at 11 years old 15 years ago. No beef, I think all goalies should know this (and I should’ve kept at it lol) but I got to say I liked having the toe of my pillows secured so if my skate slipped off I could use my pad to push off the post or someone’s stick.
I’m tellin ya bro. Once you try the toe ties you’ll never go back. Thanks for the love and watching. Working on new version soon :)
I am a newer goalie but I have a lot of skill and have had a lot of great games. I’m on the smaller side and a lot of the time players take advantage of that. What can I do to stop players from being able to take advantage of my size?
Challenge more and get your hands and shoulders in front and on top of pucks. Thanks for wathcing mnan
Trav, do you use any wax/sticky stuff on your stick/tape?
Yes I do! I wax that bitch up
Aim bot go brrrrrr 😂. Once again nice video trav. 👍
Thanks for the love Jordan
4:15 that’s tph in london Ontario , I met you there
Yes! Was awesome seeing ya last year brother!
I've got a new set of CCM R1.9 pads some time ago and i just cant figure out how to strap them. I've tried almost everything and i just cant seem to get the perfect fit. They always feel wiggly and loose, in worse cases my left pad doesnt even rotate back and gets stuck facing down.
I'd appreciate some help because its really restricting my skating and mobility :(
Sometimes (I feel) the toe tie is the huge connection point that needs to be fixed. Hope that helps man
@@trav4oilers Ah okay then maybe a bungee toe tie would help. I'll try changing to them. Thank you:)
If the pad gets stuck in the rotated position after you get up, it's usually because the boot of the pad is stuck on top of the skate. If you have a boot strap that goes through the rear of the skate or through the bottom of the skate, you'll want to loosen that strap because that is clamping the boot to the skate in the butterfly position. Other option is to remove it. Now, the pad should rotate back easily. If it's too loose, don't tighten the boot strap, tighten the lowest calf strap.
Whats an alternative to toe ties? If my laces are tied tight everything is disconnected and it strains everything but when they are longer my pads move around too much to the point its inconsistent. Help
Toe ties are the perfect hybrid my friend. I promise. Gives the feel of laces, without the wear and tear. There is a reason these are the most durable on the planet and countless NHL goalies are using pro laces. Hope this helps. Chat soon :) let me know if you got any more questions
@@trav4oilers hmm. The most important part is consistency, my ankle knee and hip health. And i want my pads to stay in place so when im on the ice it feels the same every time so i dont have to adjust. If this helps - im in and gonna need that link brotha💪
I have been strapping my pads the same way for atleast the past 6 years! Tight on the calf and loose up towards the thigh rise. Helps the thigh rise come down and close that five-hole faster than my legs can hit the ice. Surprised to hear you take heat for that.
I'm the same way brother, it just works. Everybody has an opinion these days!
Can you show how to make your chesty look bigger like vasilevskiy and make a video about chest protectors in general, I think they are very overlooked
What else do you wanna learn
Are you from sweden? I noticed that Haninge anchors and Flämingsberg was in the video.
Nope, I'm from canada but I would consider myself a Swede :)
Yeah, will definitely try some of these out. Although one thing. What’s everyone’s problem with danglers and neck guards? I mean, if you pay attention to them all the time, you’ll notice them, but if you aren’t constantly focusing on them you will have no idea they’re even there. I feel like they’re definetely worth the extra protection. The only place where I would sacrifice a little bit of security is with the mask, with a cheater cage. Not a cat-eye, because those can be easily noticed and has much more likelihood of something getting through, but definitely a cheater cage.
I don't really focus on them that much. Also lets me play comfortably without a neckguard
I feel like I should choke lower on my paddle, but I use a 27.5 (I'm 6ft without skates) but my 34+2 brians gentk 4 (probably too big) seem to be in my stomach when I try and get lower in stance. Low blocker is my kryptonite.. its sad, ive been a goalie almost 25 years, played in college and i still dont know how to wear my pads
it helped me
thanks for watching, see you for the next vlog on sunday :)
I don't even play hockey anymore.... and used to show up to the airport with my Dad.... BUT IF UR WATCHING THIS - THIS advice is literally priceless. Like yeah that's why i said 'literally' it doesn't cost you anything
I have no idea what you're trying to say brother lol appellate the comment
We added just a small piece of foam tape above the laces on the corners of the dangler to my son's helmet so it doesn't clang as loudly.
I've heard that one before!
Hey trav my brother is 9 and this is his first year. Do u got any tips?
BTW good video!!!
Thanks for watching Jayden. Honestly just practice skating. That's the secret sauce.
Thanks for replying trav!!! That made me and my brothers day. I forgot to mention, but he is a goalie
Always double check your checked bag tag. Kid on my college team was excited to be playing on his first road trip. They grabbed someone else's tag at the counter and put it on his bag by mistake. Ended up on the other side of the country and he missed the first game of the trip.
Good tip. I always watch them tag my bags. That’s the best way to do it
hey trav what team do u play for
I play for the motor city rockers in the FPHL, outsidde detroit now
@@trav4oilers glad you love the sport and are on a team.
Ima C/LW am I'm watching a video on goalie tricks. Nice. That's where I am now.
Hope they help you brother
My biggest hack is knowing how to get my head in the right space before and during the game. Different for everybody, but probably the best probability for success on the ice.
This ain’t helping but I think you have or you don’t, idk. Just my 2 cents
@@trav4oilers Eh, I think what he means is blocking out life and concentrating on the game.

Yes sir
Can’t believe price lost man, his team let him down :(
let him down how ?
@@christianlevesque9017 by not scoring a single goal in an elimination game
@@christianlevesque9017 Price saves 29/30 shots
Well that's not that easy man to score.. But they worked hard..
Vasilevskiy is best goalie in the world, simple as that!
It’s pretty incredible to see todays big goalies get down on the ice as flat as they do, it’s one thing for a 5’5” goalie to do it but a 6’5” goalie doing it is awesome….
Story of my life buddy, thanks for watching ;0
