That was a classic Trav moment. " they called... just not for me" 🤣🤣🤣
Hey somethings just never change!
I honestly don't see guys criticizing your work ethic.
Like you're busting your ass to play hockey because it's your passion and it's your goal.
But you make these vids for us (and to help pay for hockey) and you have fun. Lotta guys would die to be in your shoes, even unsigned.
Battle on Buddy!
If I wasn't me I'd die for these opportunities. I dont get it personally but I can see why people would not like me. Im unforgivably myself all the time. With that said I appreciate you always watching and commenting Mitch!
@@Travis_Ridgen Always buddy! Seeing your journey from Jr. B to now is staggering.
Most people settle for what's comfortable and never push to do the hard things that make the real differences. You're jetting around the world refusing to say die and that is a mentality people can learn from.
Just saying Viktor Fasth played in Swedish div two when he Was 25 only a few years later he was a starter for the Ducks
No he was playing in allsvenskan, which is the 2nd league in sweden (below shl). Div 2 in sweden is the fourth tier
Honestly Swedish div 2 and HockeyEttan are both seriously slept on, the level of competition is actually really high there. Plus goalies usually don't really get to the highest levels in their career until their late 20's. Even most of the best goalies in the NHL spent years and years in the AHL or other leagues after getting drafted before they could secure a spot on the NHL team roster.
I personally do commentary on the live broadcasts of my local lower pro league team (Suomi-sarja which is basically the Finnish equivalent of HockeyEttan), there's a few goalies in there who played Div 3 NCAA or BCHL before and honestly they're getting destroyed. A winger who spent the last couple of years in HockeyEttan and Div 2 in Sweden and did alright-ish over there came on the team late in the regular season this year, scored 2+1 in both of his first 2 games, torched teams left and right taking the playoffs scoring title and even scored 6 goals in 2 games on the first round. There's a few other standout players in the league who came from Swedish Div 2 recently and most of them arguably doing better than most of the former Mestis players (a step down from Liiga) so the lower level pro leagues in Sweden are definitely no joke.
@@pathv1 No he got taken up by Tingsryd from Tvåstad Cobras 2004
@@pathv1 he played there until 2007 when they where in Allettan
We are talking about huge differences here, especially if Im an import. But I do love Viktor Fasth!
One thing I’ve found that helps on the ice is actually playing lacrosse goalie. Less equipment and a 6*6 net really forces you to work on toughness, angles, and hand speed whether you’re 6’5 or 5’9 like me. It’s still an expensive sport but I’ve found it helps with hockey a lot
Wish I was made of money for lacrosse gear lol thanks for watching Cole
Great to have the videos and the premiere back. Love the way Pasco coaches. Hands on and intense. Great!!
Every monday for the new videos baby! I hope you love next weeks
@@Travis_Ridgen looking forward to it
Follow your heart, always stay humble and good things will happen. At the end of the day, when the lights go down, all the distractions are gone and you're left alone with your thoughts. Listen to yourself, criticize yourself but also love yourself man! Stay blessed and keep following your dream! Such an inspiring story.
thanks for the love brother
You know what I just found out a random Indian guy on Facebook told me it’s illegal to use the toilet after 10 pm
I heard this as well. We getting messages from the same guy?
Huh
Did Pasco have any comment regarding your butterfly - meaning that as long as you feel comfortable the gap between pads is OK? Absolutely not a negative comment but just trying to figure out if something that I should try to fix on my stance, or just having the stick there is OK to go forward.
Excellent videos and content Trav, so great to see how committed you are to improve yourself when there's no games to be played. Hope that you'll find a team and starting position to challenge yourself and see how the hard work done with Pasco pays off.
Hey thanks for watching. Yes he actually did which will be in the vlog in 2 weeks discussing ym knee injury. A lot of that ties in
Do it brother. Watched your content for 3 years. Keep the passion. Keep the work going. Do it till you dont want to. Forget everyone else. They dont understand. Think aboot this. THEYVE NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PASSION FOR ANYTHING and they have the audacity to speak negativity and rob you of your prime years of life.
Dont let em. Live your life.
Everybody is entitled to an opine long as these videos remain public but I mean, idk if I agree
@@Travis_Ridgen Maybe Im not communicating my thoughts well enough. I think the folks telling you to stop doing this because of covid or whatever reason are wrong and out of line. My intent was to be supportive towards you..all the best.
@trav4oilers I watched the Mannheim Adler (DEL) in Germany. I loved them. They had an amazing fan base and played great hockey. Even though it’s been about 10 years, they were really good. I also spent 4-5 years watching the Fayetteville Fireantz (SPHL) in Fayetteville North Carolina. I’m not sure how they’ve played in recent years since I now live in Texas but I do know their name was changed to the Hitmen. They were badass to watch and great as well. I had the team surprise me for career day at school as well as go to dinner with my family and friends. Great team over there. I watched them win the 2007 or 2008 cup as well. Highly suggest SPHL or DEL leagues. Good luck brother you work hard for this
Wishful thinking but Im not even close to that level man. Would love too but
Well keep up the hard work brotha and you’ll land something. Also really enjoy the podcast
Don't worry Trav, you will be playing on a team next season, undoubtedly. I'm sure you have seen Keek's video about saving the hips.
Yup that was one of the first things Keeks ever told me, about saving the hips
“They called, just not for me”
Story of my life in hockey, and with women
Hey trav just wondering from your experience does a smaller chest protector cause shoulder pain
I mean all depends on hows its fit. Its on a case by case basis. It def can
what teams have contacted you in the SPHL? I work for one of them.
Which team you work for
@@Travis_Ridgen Peoria Rivermen
Trying to order ProLaces in Trav4 Spec and promo code TRAVSUCKS doesn't work :/
Send me a message and pro
Laces. Should be working?
@@Travis_Ridgen message ya on Instagram, cause I'm old AF and don't know how to do it on UA-cam
Hey Trav it has probably been asked a million times but what do you get your skates sharpened at? I do 1/2 on my goalie skates and feel like they slide a little to much. I am thinking of doing something sharper but then again warm weather is coming and ice won’t be as hard soon.
I do 3/8 currently my friend
What do you think about trying inline hockey ?
I think ill stick to ice hockey bro
@@Travis_Ridgen of course you do :) but since it's a different sport I was thinking that a video about you trying it would be awesome and maybe inspiring for people and kids who don't know that sport (also less expensive than ice hockey). Some great NHL player plays it during summer :)
Best of luck for your goals !
"I really want to move here [Vancouver] on a full-time basis" -- Looks like UA-cam pays better than I thought. Damn, son. If you can afford to live in Vangroovy, you're making BANK! Each of your short and curlies must be worth a mint to Manscaped...
Lawn Mower 4.0 drops next month ;) and hey, I wanna move to vancouver, not moving yet. Need to sell A LOT of lawn mowers. need more cash. Love ya Pauly!
Well, move on from the SPHL. Also move on from the haters. Stay focused, train, eat healthy, get proper sleep and hydrate. If it was easy, then anyone could do it. It ain't easy!
I wish it was easy hahaha got that train video for you coming next week. Hope you love it Rob!
It might be time to slide in some game play type drills. Pressure/decision making , and intensity etc. As close to real game as you can get. That’s the one thing that we haven’t seen.
Get the mental side going.
Trust me man. If the rinks would allow enough players in the rink I would do that. That's the plan when I get back
I was born in Germany, moved to Canada when I was 3, but everytime i go back i love it. If you do decide to go to Germany, I think you'd like it, it's similar to Sweden but Germans are a bit more.... stubborn.
I love all of Europe. Gimme all of the Brautworst!
I'm right there with you man, unfortunately my window is about to shut but im not going to stop until it does.
Goodluck bud
Hey man what's up just watched your video loved it keep up the good work champ
Thanks for tuning in Andy, love ya buddy
slanging bizkits across the world
Ep 4 with Dale Weise coming on Thursday baby!
They called, just not for me. Story of my life
They called, she called. Everybody is calling. Just not for me sadly
Wich team is calling you from France?
I don't name drop unless a team signs me. No free exposure here LOL
@@Travis_Ridgen ahah ok I understand bro... hope you’ll come in!
I love that you Kasamir, and pat Shea are friends , it is really nice for viewers, I hope you and pat Shea get your pro shots. Some day you will get your shot, never stop believing that. If David foster can suit up for the blackhawks , you will one day also.
HAHAHA not the way it works sadly. Appreciate it man
I would say go with the team that’s the most welcoming and the team you most trust because you don’t want another incident like you had in Sweden but that’s for you to decide glad to see you getting opportunities good job trav and keep up the good work.
I would like to avoid all of the other incidents like in Flemingsberg
My dad played for the Louisiana Icegators in the SPHL
What a place to be!
If you had all the money in the world to get a custom setup anything you wanted, post lefevre-true merge what would it be?
Funny enough, I'm ordering a custom set for next season ;p
Trav’s mullet is dominating the game
Mullet is most popular hair cut in 2021? Nah I was on the grind in 2019 for the mullet. Let's go baby
Would u consider playing in the LNAH?
I think you have to be French for them to take you ?
I really want it to be SPHL though because I can watch those games in person
hahah don't get your hopes up man
@@Travis_Ridgen no
Germany is an amazing place, never been but I have German heritage and I’ve been learning German for 4 years. I would strongly encourage you Trav to play in Germany but go where you feel you are going to be most successful!
That makes 2 of us with German roots! Thank you for the love Riley
Gl trav I believe you can do it! I can’t wait until the video!!
See ya tomorrow morning for the premier Josh
Hey trav whatever happened to that one school you were gonna potentially sign with?
Majority of the colleges aren't moving anything because they don't know if theyre playing or not. It sucks man
@@Travis_Ridgen aww man :/
I did not need to see that bath shot💀
Looking is for free, touching will cost you
can’t wait to see where you sign next year trav :)
I can't wait either lol hoping for something soon bro!
Love your vids Trav
Hey I would LOVE to go back to Varberg. We got something great there. Boys need some goaltending and I think I can help. Love my team mates, coaches and the locals. Was really happen there.
Any colleges still calling?
Majority of the colleges aren't moving anything because they don't know if theyre playing or not. It sucks man
Only advice I got is to never sign for a team in England
A. The rules are the you can only have one import on the ice at a time, so teams with an import keeper only play them when their import skaters are injured ( so there would basically be no play time)
B. The facilities are god awful, like at my local rink we can only sit in one stand cause the rest are unsafe due to too much damage, and there is literally a huge gap between the ice and the boards, so pucks get wedged down there so easy
C. Every European country has a better standard of hockey so just don’t you can do way better
Damn, think I need to become an agent, but seriously, if you get approached by an English team don’t take it unless your the most desperate man on earth
Agent and I have these talks on a weekly basis! Thanks buddy
Congrats Trav. Been a long rode, but it seems ur hard work is really paying off.
(I guess I should go work out now then😞)
When the wins start happening, then it pays off. Until then!
@@Travis_Ridgen True. Well why don't u start winning then?
a small city in india is looking for a goalie , paid is naan and butterchicken
I will HAPPILY get paid in butter chicken.
Making a living playing that game you love is a you can ask for bud. Who knows all the experience your getting everything your learning can translate to staying in hockey after your playing days are over. Keep at it bud! Rember to pack ravioli if you head abroad.
Im thinking my post retirement is gonna be travel blogging or a cooking channel lol
what happened to the acac team you were talking with?
All college teams are on pause man. They have no idea what they wanna do for next year so
Trav looking forward to seeing you playing again. Hope the injury you mentioned doesn't affect next season and your options. Stay safe and Peace!
Im looking forward to just skating again finally.
“Unfortunately after 25 years of broadcasting the games I have been informed that it is not pronounce “Croak-et.””
Sounds like a Goon thing
What exactly are they calling you?
Bunch of mean names likely
I’d so sign you if I had a team, get a good goalie and good marketing. Win, win.
Too bad you don't own a team LOL
@@Travis_Ridgen Working on it, give me 20-40 years 💀
I'd go back to Sweden, think of all the blonde ladies lining up serving you meatballs with mash, lingonberry jam, brunsås and kexchoklad to the tunes of Abba and Avicii? But Germany over France any day. I haven't been in France much but from my experience, unless you speak fluent french you'd risk feel like an alien outcast. Whatever you do, do it - no regrets!
Oh god the women, meatballs and lingonberry. Im sold
Good Evening Trav . Gonna check the podcast and hell of a Vid as usual..
Episode 4 with Dale Weise is coming on Thursday. Would love to hear your feedback. Hope you love it Brian
MCL injury? Not good. Looking forward to your next video about it. I guess no teams in Western Canada USports are interested in you either?
Usport option is basically dead
@@Travis_Ridgen Sorry to hear that. It would have been a better option than playing in europe.
Hey man I haven’t watched in a few months basically ever since you came back from Sweden but bro I’m seeing ALOT OF IMPROVEMENTS!!! Keep it up man!!!
Trev cmon buddy we gotta make this a regular thing. Things are quieter but the non Swedish vlogs are exciting as well ;)
I’m French so in my biased opinion you’d love France 😃
We gotta smoke a pack of darts together!
Naaaaa you need to come back to Sweden 🤟🏻
I need to see my fav swede. You and Fika Dan baby!
They're just haters Travis keep your hard work going and you'll be exactly where you want to be!!
Appreciate ether love Tony, youre awesome
Trav you'd appreciate this. I just took a bike train for my birthday. You basically load your bike onto a old scenic train and you take an hour ride up the rail, then you unload your bike and ride back the 25 miles. on a rail trail.
Actually that sounds pretty good. Might have to try it
Always taught my boys and girls that I coach head hands feet, head and hands have to move together it’s the triangle if you can keep them Centered and you can still make a save even if your feet are not fast enough
I like that man! Thanks for watching the vlog :)
Good job
Thanks for watching Chris. See you for the next one
I question those Breakfast sandwiches and Big Macs.
In McDonalds or?????? I love Swedish McDonalds
@@Travis_Ridgen you did make Swedish McDonald’s sound good... I’ll give that!
you always gonna have people jealous who gonna try to take you down but ...dont let these people affected you...you're goood you put alot of work and i know you gonna succed
Appreciate the love brother but the extreme positives and negatives. Try to disregard both. Thanks for watching and see you for next weeks video!
LOL - not a chance hahaha.
New podcast drops Thursday, we shall see baby!
I bet you were a big Thomas the train fan as a kid lol
Honestly I loved Timmy T
@trav4oilers Which League in Germany, was in a 2 Division Team a few years ago maybe I can help you with your decision
Best Wishes from Germany
If I sign I'll let you know ALLLLLLL the details! DONKA!
I noticed Liam's dad was driving... funny stuff that.
He's a gem. I like Sr better than Jr ;)
Big news Trav, really hope you get signed in the weeks bud, keep it up !
Thanks Mat, thank you for always commenting buddy
@@Travis_Ridgen You're welcome brother, gotta encourage my favorite UA-camr ;)
Has the canadian/usa leagues ever told you why they wont sign you?
Lot are scared of the UA-cam (my agent doesnt think so though) but it's the playing resume. Nothing for sample size.
Yeah I get that.. Like all jobs, you need to have 10 years of experience at 18yrs old 😅
" im Tired of GGSU " is what you meant
Sorry I haven't commented NS Is in Lockdown now so more school at home for the kids keeps me going.... Still proud of you
Sorry bout the Nova Scotia covid craziness bud, cheers
@@Travis_Ridgen all good more time to catch up on my youtube
Your technique seems to have improved quite a bit over the past year/2 years. You seem way more “organized” in nets, better positioning. You seem way more in control of everything
Thats the goal. Technical is fine but it's also the practical application. Got make saves with it
Absolutely a gem of a epi.
SpeKING OF, you'll love the podcast this week baby!
@@Travis_Ridgen slangin the old biscuit!!
Are your glasses crooked? or is your head crooked? Haha jk looking good 👍brother
Glasses are fucked, got a new pair
@@Travis_Ridgen I dunno about Canada but fuggin glasses are expensive here
Hold on, what happened to that collage team
The whole school folded.
@@tyronesmith2394 what does that mean?
@@hamzayasin5019 They don’t exist anymore
This is going to have to be a dedicated video soon, but gotta make a decision eventually
What are they calling you? You shouldn't take namecalling sitting down, you deserve better sir!
Bunch of nasty names
Which SPHL team was it that called. And I like trains
If you watched the previous videos you'll know. WOW I LOVE TRAINS TOO! see ya monday baby
@@Travis_Ridgen thanks
Really excited to see that train video, and the vlogs too💪🏻💪🏻🤩
Hey excited to make it for you Le. I think you'll love it. See ya then!
Vancouver full time. Let’s gooooo
NEED THE WEST COAST WEATHER!
Come to my local sphl team the quad city storm
What a place!
Way to go Travis woohoo your gonna be stellar for any team you play for...nevermind the haters and 😊❤️👊🏽🙌🏽 nay sayers
Love ya Richie
@@Travis_Ridgen love ya too brother 😊👊🏽❤️
My wife is a GM of a White Spot. Next time in Vancouver Legendary burgers on me.
done and done, which one?
@@Travis_Ridgen Coquiltam.lNice deck to eat outside.
Thank you for sharing the Pasco knowledge.
And for some reason I can’t not take you all that seriously...maybe is the importance you give to your sponsors I know you need the money because you’re not wining on the hockey part I don’t know. I’ll meditate on it. Have a good one.
I mean testicular cancer is a more serious topic, shaving your bush is easier to joke about haha
Who from from the Royals were shooting on you)
Warm!
Dear god please come to the bulls you can definitely be better then the current guy we have
Austin LotZ?
@@Travis_Ridgen nah they signed some guy from a team called the River Dragons and he let in 9 goals in his first game and they left him out there for god knows what reason
playing abroad = new Mc D reviews
SO MANY MORE FOOD REVIEWSSSSSSS
STAYING AT THE DUKE!
You mean The Burrard?
The haterz hate on yah cause they ain’t yah
Lot of positive and negative. Try to keep it in the middle
I mean at least your getting calls
Hahahah least somebody is calling these weeks
I don’t think people understand the challenges goalies face...as a keeper’s dad I see my kid constantly working off and on the ice, paying extra to get the coaching he doesn’t get with team practices, traveling 2 hours for a tryout where 18 goalies show up for 2 spots...keep working hard on all your crafts, hockey, YT, and the podcast...and nice follow up to the bubbly grapefruit with the lime!
What bubbly will be in the next vlog? Only you will find out haha goaltending is so over complicated sometimes. Like as good as technique is. Just stop the puck sometimes
If you don’t play hockey cause you think it’s cool hence you like it well... not sure
Bingo
Proud
Proud of you too willY!
Screw Birmingham! You do you bro!
hahah how'd you know it was Birm?
Just a wild guess. I have experience with the SPHL lol
They should be asking you why you want to play for them lol. Somehow people think since you put on a minor league hockey jersey that you must make some money. That is far from the truth lol. You make peanuts, but at least you get to hockey! People think it is easy, but that is so far from the truth. Keep up the hard work bro. I remember when hard work and dedication was what got you somewhere. Now days it seems like sometimes it’s daddy’s wallet....keep pushing forward bro! At least your going for it! That is more than what most people can say. Sometimes the most talented players and Hall of Famers are the ones passed over and was constantly told that they could not make it.
You looked really sharp on your movements. I think Pasco is worth every penny
Pasco is the best Irfan. Simple as that
Nice bud
LETS GOOOOOOO
Ehhh Trav is moving to Vancouver!! Best city on the planet
I wanna move to Vancouver, Nothing confirmed. Need more cash lol
Come play for peoria in the SPHL💪I’ll buy your jersey
Doubt they would want me haha
What sphl team
If you have seen the previous videos you can prob put 2 and 2 together
@@Travis_Ridgen the Birmingham Bulls
@@Travis_Ridgen I used to play for their youth team
Will you ever come to Slovakia pleeeease?
Need some cash for that one
Some one will call for you, just wait and see.
Who it will be? Who knows
