What does my future in hockey look like, where will I play next season? I'll address both in this video. I did a staycation at the Hotel Vancouver, flew back to Winnipeg, quick business trip and a mother's day surprise for my mom, and an update on my Muay Thai training! :)

Start driving a Zamboni, the time will come eventually
Actually used to work as a zamboni driver for 9 months back in the day. Slickest right hand turns in the Winnipeg. Regardless, Thanks for watching brother!
Drive a zamboni to taco bell
As a Zam driver myself I would highly recommend it if you like the game
Happy mother's day to all the moms, mine included. My apologies for no uploads the last 5 weeks.

Just wanna say thank you for showing your journey through your hockey career. Your junior B games inspired me to get a go pro and mic and start making videos and now I do it has a part time job. You make a massive impact on others more than you ever know. Stay GOATED Trav 🫡
It's Crawdaddy!
@@booman3138 Booman! Like I said since day one, Trav is my UA-cam idol! Love the guy 🔥
and I'd like to say thank you for watching and supporting what I do Crawdaddy. It is literally impossible without and to be able to help and inspire you means a lot. Congrats on the success so far, keep GOING!

@trav4oilers it's going! Still in a high after BBB won the championship.! It was amazing to see all the fans cheering and the guys playing hard.
@@trav4oilersI hope your mom had a happy Mother’s Day
Trav - thanks for the video - it's great to see you posting. Though I know playing hockey is your passion, I do feel like you have real talent for media. As a beer league goalie myself, I've always loved your channel since finding it - you're someone that I look up to. And while breaking into professional hockey might be a challenge, there's something around media that I think you should keep in mind, too, should you ever decide to pivot into a new direction! The content here is really good, and I wanted you to know that. :)
Thank you man, and hopefully this railway hotels series showcases my ability to craft that story and skillsets in a series when it starts at the end of next month. Can't wait to share with you!
I respect the grind, Trav. Whatever happens, follow your heart and keep the faith.
Also, Go Sens Go.
Thank you Stephen and all the love back at ya!
Glad to see you're doing good bud. I believe that no matter where you end up playing, there's always personnal accomplishment to achieve. Keep up the good work !
Bingo! It comes from within and what you want to get out of it
Keep it up Trav !!!! Love the vlogs & podcast
Thank you brother for the support. Love ya too
Hey Trav, I know everyone always shits on you on the hockey side of things and all that, but Ive always loved watching your content. I just got my left hip bone shaved down and some of the muscle fixed up to start a 3 month recovery. Thank you for posting all the things you do and especially the recovery stuff when you were dealing with that. Also thank you for being really nice and taking a picture with me when you were in Danbury.
It's gonna be loonger than 3 months if you got the same surgery as me. Thank you for the love and well wishes man! nice to meet you in daNBURY :)
I remember watching the Kings tryout a couple years back and always wondered what happened to you. Sad to see it didn't work out how you wanted, but as long as ur doing something u love ur doing better than most. Good luck man
hey welcome back, hopefully you stick around and watch the other videos i share. Thank you fr the love, that was a long time ago
TRAV, YOU HAVE THE LOVE OF THE GAME FEW PEOPLE HAVE... THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU SOMEWHERE IN THIS GREAT SPORT... I TELL YOU A QUICK STORY... MY SON WAS ON A PEE WEE TEAM YEARS AGO WITH THE SON OF AN NHL PLAYER.. WE WERE STANDING BY THE GLASS, AND HE ASKED ME WHICH PLAYER WAS MY SON? HE TOLD ME, HE HAS A FUTURE. I ASKED WHICH PLAYER WAS HIS SON? HE RESPONDED, HE IS PLAYING FOR FUN, HE IS NOT VERY GOOD... HIS SON TOOK A JOB AS AN ASSISTANT COACH IN THE USHL, JUNIOR A LEAGUE, THEN A HEAD COACHING JOB, HE IS NOW DIRECTOR OF HOCKEY OPERATIONS FOR THE USHL. THE POINT IS THERE IS A PLACE FOR EVERYONE WHO REALLY LOVES THE GAME... FIND YOUR PLACE IN THE GAME TRAV... FIND YOUR PLACE.. ITS THERE, YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND IT... MAYBE IN A VIDEO ROOM, FOR A TEAM.... FIND YOUR SPOT...
Glad you got to spend some time with your mom. She deserves a lot for putting up with you😅
I'm sure she will laugh at this one Irfan! Love ya buddy
Didn't know jr b was considered minor pro
you havn't been following for long have you?
Your girlfriend is a great upgrade to the last. Try to hold onto this one
She is an incredible compliment to my life and I think I make her happy too. Thanks again for watching Cena :)
Hey happy mothers day and W vid as usual 🔥
RIGHT back at you. Thanks for watching :)
TRAV, GO TO SPAIN!!! I was stationed there for 1.5 years. Even if you don’t make the show, you’ll regret not going.
Great weather, doesn't get much better!
And Portugal (where I met my wife) has THE best beaches in Europe.
Yo Trav you should do a video showing some of the behind the scenes stuff like your camera gear and how you go about getting some do the shots, editing, ect.
I may get that in for you next time! love ya bobby and thanks for being an OG!
@@trav4oilers thanks man! Hey you know I discovered your channel way back in 2014 back when you used to post goalie montages. Been a decade I was in 8th grade at the time which is wild. Appreciate you for still posting and being a part of my love for the game and the position.
Happy mother's day to your mom,
Right back at ya!
ZE VLOG IS BACK... go play hockey! show up and challenge inline hockey players XD
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Regardless, your content is well done and interesting to watch. Thank you!
Hey thanks for watching man :)
As we say in Australia... Trav is batting well above his average there with Bella. ;)
Thank you for watching my friend :)
Trav, Athens Georgia is getting a team next year why not try out for them? Would love to see ya on the home town team.
Agent has already been on it. We will see what happens, thank you for watching bro :)
@trav4oilers sounds good my man. Keep grinding and ignore the naysayers. It's easy to shit on someone else's dream when your sitting behind a keyboard.
@@trav4oilers Really? I thought you said you and the FED were not going to reconnect? Surprised you’d want back in.
@@patricio78999 not sure how much you’ve listen to the podcast but those same terms would have to be in place. Trying to avoid repeats of the last 2 years
I only played Floor Hockey .like 12 to 20 ?
If you can get your other hip done now, I would suggest you do that.
hahah INTERESTING
Try the Brian’s eclipse line with iconik pads I think you would like them a lot
whos paying for the custom set?
@@trav4oilers the views that you get on the video ( Vancouver rent dosnt help)
Trav you are a nice guy 😀
You are too Lars!
Love your videos and podcast, Trav. Great fan here, but you have to stop promoting your big size and cool looking in front of the camera, and focus more on your technique and speed if you want to get the scouts' attention. You do really look like a big guy in front of the net, and that puts the spotlight over your head. Lots of goalies jealously dream of your size. But your ability is the most important thing as a former (or still) elite player and I would strongly suggest you to not give up and focus 100% on that ONLY from now on. Trust me if you can do that, lots of opportunities will come. Best of luck.
Of course, ability is the most important aspect and we are playing to my strengths within that ecosystem and learning along the way. From the outside, what do you seee as looking cool on camera? Constructive feedback is always welcomed!
Hey trav, just watched you goalie hacks, because i started in the net 1,5 years ago. 😂 But 35 years to late. I play hockey as a Hobby and my teammates say i'm better in goal than on the ice. Now i sae your announcement Here, and now i'm intrested in where you migth end up in europe. Maybe in germany, and if that happen, i'll join a game cheering on you. 😂🎉
Hey Chris, happy I could help with you get back in net. That's awesome. Excited to take you along for next season. Keep working on your craft and loving it! Thanks for watching
I don't think he knows how to drive sooo driving the Zamboni might be a dream as well! But great advice
Actually used to work as a zamboni driver for 9 months back in the day. Slickest right hand turns in the Winnipeg. Regardless, Thanks for watching brother!
Meanwhile I am doing learn to play programs as a skater to try to at least get to a level where I can play in a senior league lol. I started way too late though I feel
hey man if you love it, who cares!
@@trav4oilers Yes, I enjoy it and that is all that matters lol. I had four goals on shooting drills in practice one time which is my personal best
What a Gentleman
We clean up nice. Thanks for watching brother :)
Why don't you make a full video of your video set up. Camera mic and editing setup what program is it obs? . Even what u guys use for the podcast I always was wondering 🤷♂️
bro 😂
definitely looks like obs
Maybe I could do a short piece on it but Sony A7C, DJI mini 3 pro, Insta360 4K, macbook pro (spec'd out), blue yeti mic, Dave uses OBS for recording in studio and I edit on Final Cut pro!
@igniteservicess what I'm interested in how he makes and edits his videos. Also, what software he and they use for the podcast. You might not be interested in those thing but I am.
A very few make it to the show, but the love for the game should never go away just because you don’t get to put on an NHL jersey. The only thing we can do is keep playing, even if nobody is watching it’s still better than nothing.
Most don't but even minor pro hockey is a dream and I'm blessed to share it with you Adrian. Thank you my friend!
My money was on Japan, but traveling back to Europe can't be a bad deal. I guess we'll learn more in the next video update, eh?
Until it's signed and sealed, anything can happen. More coming soon :)
We need a beer league goalie in Langley BC🤣
Send me an email in the summer Travisridgen35@gmail.com
Two weeks ago I lost a game 16-11 so 16 past Booman 😅😂
pull up them socks Booman!
You didn't want to be on that Sea Wolves team. That was easily the worst season in Sea Wolves history.
Playing pro is a priviledge regardless where it is man! Thanks for watching :)
"GIVE ME A TOASTA OR GIVE ME DEATH!!"
If you can make a living playing hockey and doing youtube/media when you combine the income of both, then you are in a lucky position. Many amateur hockey players would like to earn enough from hockey to be able to live a normal life. Plus you get to see a lot of the world and meet great people. It's really not worth quit playing even if you don't reach the top.
I think the money aspect is 95% of the problem for most guys and it seems to have been solved so I can keep playing and doing what I love, sharing it with you, and building off of that! Thanks for watching man :)
I think Matthews ended a lot of goalie dreams. To be clear, this isn't a Matthews is the greatest, fanboy stuff. Goaltending was for years very much about prediction. Be in the right spot, know the play, know where to be and know when a player is going to pass and when they are going to shoot. Matthews changed all that and not because of what he can do, but because of what he taught others to do. There's a lot of players in the show you can't predict, that goes out the window. Sure prediction is still a part of the game, but now it's more important to be able to react. That's gotta be a huge shift.
I would bet that a lot of guys who were really good at reaction but not as much able to predict have switched places with the prediction guys on who is looking at them and they are being looked at a lot more seriously. I could be wrong though. I'm very interested in what people who know think about that.
his change up release really did change the game. It makes life as a goalie much more difficult!
The part about your hands sinking down and making you small, leading to goals has so much to do with the fact that you shave down your stick to be so small, that it totally hinders your height, and makes you play small. People have been saying this for a while now. Hopefully you finally adjust.
The stick has nothing to do with it. Weak shoulders dropping the hands and not remaining at a constant level is the problem. Easy to explain, hard to execute. The shaved paddle helped big time with blocker saves
🐐
travis if your in Vancouver why go to rinks in richmond?
That's where we were able to get ice? What area are you in
@@trav4oilers i am around the Richmond area and i find it crazy how you drive 20 - 40 mins to your "local" rink
Hate to say it, but you could’ve posted with this video title 5 years ago.
I got stuck in trafffic, better late than never ;)
Have you considered applying as an NHL Emergency Backup Goaltender? Unlikely you would see game time but sometimes they get put in like Matt Berlin for the Oilers last season was dressed for a game after Skinner was out one night
Not that straight forward, tehy usually pick from uSports goalies in canada
Dude, the basics are simply making money. So if you have a better proposal, follow that proposal. Maybe going to Europe will open new paths. In Brazil I'm a Goalie, and our teams don't earn a cent to play, you're in a country where Hockey is a good way. Dont stop videos. GO Ahead!
My couch plays Hockey for 20 years, and imagine be player hockey in Brazil. 😢
Dont Give UP💪
Europe is the plan at the moment :) THANK YOU FOR watching and supporting my friend
W vid
Just find a job at the rink or somethin where you can still enjoy the game....and go play some veer league and just enjoy the game while you still can before its too late
You must be new here, this is my job
You will get to the NHL Trav
no i wont lol
Why do you keep calling it your pro goalie. Sorry I wouldn't say that, you have played like 2 games for 7 different teams
More than 2 games man. 4 years of minor pro is more than many. Regardless thank you for watching the vlog :)
The irony of the betterhelp code being TRAVSUCKS is funny
gonna change the code if we renew our contract. Thanks again brother!
INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME ON SOME GARBAGE 300 DOLLAR PER WEEK LEAGUE, FOCUS ON SOMETHING IN HOCKEY OPERATIONS, OR SOME OTHER AREA OF THE GAME.. HONESTLY, THE SKILL LEVEL IS JUST NOT THERE TO BE ANY KIND OF PRO... FOCUS ON SOMETHING ATTAINABLE, BEING A PLAYER IS DELUSIONAL.... AND PLAYING IN THE FED IS NOT PRO HOCKEY.. MOST OF THE PLAYERS THERE ARE FORMER D3.. OR LOW LEVEL JUNIORS.... ITS A VERY LOW LEVEL OF SKILL
No but this is my full time income and I love playing hockey, always will Walter! Love ya buddy
Playing in the FPHL is by definition pro hockey. To say it isn't simply isn't true.
@@treygray2817 FPHL IS MOSTLY D3 PLAYERS AND LOW LEVEL JR PLAYERS... CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, ITS NOT A LEGITIMATE PRO LEAGUE..
All leagues lead to beer league.
of course. Thank you for watching the vlog brother
i’m happy you’ve been on a self improvement journey, but have you ever thought about turning to Jesus for healing and direction? He is the ultimate healer, and He is the way, the truth, and the life:) God bless trav!
Def have faith in god but hope is never the best plan. Actionables always lead the way. thank you fro the love brother!
NHL dream????? Huh???
We all have an NHL dream kirk!
You never had an NHL dream
Be real, we all dream of it!
Long enough to know you will never be considered a pro goalie. You barely made it in jr b
You havnt been paying much attention lately hey?
Nice clickbait title.. did you ever really have an NHL dream. Funny, a 26 yo saying this now? Dude.. I watch you because you're sort of interesting.. but you have to admit.. you are now grasping at weak content..
sort of interesting? haha thank you for watching regardless my friend. Clickbait titles won't be a regular thing. Apprecaite the feedback!
score one shut out and then talk about a "Career"....
Not sure if thats a prerequisite, thanks for watching though brother :)
Yawn
But you comment.....
