The Hard Reality of Pro Hockey | Life in The FED EP 9
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- This is the harsh reality and business side of professional hockey. Our coach continues to scratch me from every game, and I continue to be a professional to be prepared for my opportunity because the damn is about to break. I do new vlogs every Sunday (sometimes Wednesdays too) at 10am eastern! :)

Podcast has the exclusive and usually up to date. I’m a 1 man operation with editing, filming, etc and it’s difficult to produce in real time while maintaining the quality I expect to produce . The vlog will catch up over the next 2 weeks. 1st start vs Binghamton on Sunday, and the trade / end in Watertown next week. Thank you for understanding and hope you enjoy the story with me :)
Thanks for the update, but don’t worry about the haters! We believe in your skill and your training motivation are inspirational!
People don’t understand EVERY UA-camr is typically weeks behind for all the reasons stated, except you’re still doing a job daily.
Regardless, the vlogs are also entertainment and motivational to anyone struggling in hockey and life. Keeo it up, recover, and come back stronger in the next game!
No explanation Trav, love your videos of your journey through the Fedzino. Keep up the awesome work, you do a bang up job grabbing video, editing video and audio, and the presentation is spectacular. You definitely have developed a valuable skill set for a post hockey career 🤘👍
Love what you do trav
looked Travis up on elite prospects goals against average in 4 games is over 11 that's brutal. Cant complain when you are scratched because when you play they score multiple goals on you. A good goalie wouldn't get traded and would be in a better league.
Nice video. You probably need to reevaluate some things in your game. One thing is your butterfly. Now, that your hip is fixed, you still have a narrow butterfly. In your butterfly save stance, both pads are not wide and connected, so someone who is shorter than you but has a wide butterfly is covering more of the bottom shots. That alone would help you to make more blocking saves on low shots. I see it in the on-ice practice video recordings. Have your goalie coaches even mentioned it?
“Pro hockey” 😂
Greatest Port Huron Prowler of all time.
Well at least he's unbeaten there...
The hardest thing about improving at anything is that the differences get slighter and slighter as you go up. But the subtle differences matter between pro and enthusiast.
Oh wow, you have to pay for your own gear? Another nail in the coffin of the "Pro hockey player" claims!
Now in Mississippi with an 11.25 GAA and .811 SV percentage - 14 goals allowed on 74 shots - give it up Travis.
@@xmohawkx985 How many pro goalies do you know with a 11.25 GAA and .811 SV percentage?
@@youngsyralways trys to remind the audience that hes a pro by stating “PRO HOCKEY”. If trav was a true pro he wouldn’t have to repeat that statement every video. Guy is a mess
Always a good day when trav posts!
The hard reality of accepting you are in your late 20s and need to move onto real life and get a real job. This isn’t professional hockey, I’d barley call it semi pro. You can make $20 in a few hours picking up cans…
Is EliteProspects correct? Do you have a 12 GAA in 4 games with Mississippi????
Trav, would love to see you mix in some explosive workouts, maybe more lower body with simultaneous handeye training.
@@xmohawkx985just do some curls and bench for 2 hours per day , 7 days per week 👍
great attitude dude! your focus and drive is fantastic.
Love the mind set. Not easy to maintain, especially when things aren't going to plan.
Keep up the hard work! Always a fan!
You don’t play pro hockey
That game against the Blue Ridge Bobcats seemed BRUTAL...at least you got to play the entire game.
he got pulled after 4 goals and then got put back in when the other goalie gave up 4 goals
Good video, Trav. I am always entertained by your videos. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE BEST BUY EXPERIENCE
Your doing what you can, it takes time for some teams to realize what they have. You are doing a great job sir!!! 💚💚💚🇨🇦
Remember on his podcast couple of weeks ago he decided it'd be great to trash women hockey players & suggest he'd be Patrick Roy & shut them down easily? I do! Perhaps stopping a beach ball fired by any gender would be considered a success at this point.
The guy is the Buffoon of the League. No filter, like an Adolescent trying to fit in with the cool kids. Pitiful.
a team of 4th line fed players beats womens all star team.
Not the question @@nickw1762, the question is can Trav stop a beach ball shot by any gender? Not if 4th line Fed players can outmuscle a women's all star team.
Or when he was like, “iTs GrEaT 2 b oN a TeAm ThAt BeLiEveS iN u” and “bLuE iS mY CoLoR”😂😂😂
I'm always pulling for you.
You got shelled in Virginia when you did start for mississippi
Love it trav looked good gotta keep that chin up
I’m in the same spot as you buddy
Love the vids see ya sunday
I’ll be honest, it’s time to start going into another field. You’ll earn more money
The hard reality is you are not a good goalie. What's your GAA. Somewhere around 11!!
Thank God you have the socials
You are clearly determined, hard-working, with a commendable fighting spirit. Bravo! Also, your high emotional intelligence will serve you well throughout life. Finally, your videos are terrific, and your voice-overs are very professional. Keep on truckin', Trav. Peace out! (England)
Travis, how are you going to get your coach, management invested in your development? If you dont find a way to get them to care about you, your future and invest in you, this story will keep repeating itself. The game is not played onnthe ice. The game is played in theboffice and board rooms. If your not the 1%, this is how the rest of us continue our careers.
Love your content, very interesting to see your journey. So many here bitching about your use of the word pro and what not. No matter what level of pro league this is its your journey we are watching and it seems like this would be the journey of most since so few actually make the show. Keep doing what you love to do as long as you can.
I was loving how up to date the series was….problem is you created a following who actually checks in on your live games and the FPHL now lol. Add that with the fact that you are busier than ever and it’s making the series fall behind detrimentally. Just truncate the last two weeks into one episode and get back up to date. Most of us on here do want to see you succeed bro! But it’s hard watching stuff that happened weeks ago
Just watch the freaking podcast if being behind bothers you so bad!
Shame the Wolves wouldn't give you a chance but if you keep that positive mindset everything is possible. Best of luck with your new team bud, hope you'll enjoy your season none the less !
“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
I'm certainly not a fashion expert, but you've definitely been dressing well this year
Trav, what would you suggest do to look good to a coach but the drills are not meant to make goalies look good for example 2 on 0 and 3 on 1s stuff like that. Thanks, love the vids!
He rarely plays… it’s going to take a while to straighten up those stats… he is basically screwed now I mean who do you even promo yourself to ANY TEAM with them crazy stats ?
Probably some sales pitch involving UA-cam marketing in exchange for a couple of starts per season ?
Hey bud. Welcome to Columbus. Things getting spicy
I can’t get over all the crease dancing. Your goalie coach must be so proud!!
Trav is a PRO at useless goalie drills
Also, not that I'm an authority on workouts for hockey and all, but I found enormous success with the Old workout series called "Insanity" its a 60 day program that's 6 days a week and 45 minutes on average workouts that are high intensity training. I'd recommend that over free weights for agility and mobility.
I've done the program twice in 10 years with great success. Good luck
Don't worry Trav, keep working you are I. The right path
UA-cam subscribers are brain dead
Saw the video feed from your last game. It's a bad camera angle but a couple of goals of where they lateral pass to an open guy, maybe you should have saved them? You got there in time but they went through. However none of those shooters had any D to stop them esp the 4th goal. Seems like the team gave up after that. Last 3 outings Mississippi won them all.
Bro you are milking these videos hard. You’re almost a month behind us man!!
I mean I support trav but his career in the fed right now is a complete dumpster fire. Definitely trying to save face a bit
@@Uwuz863 yeah it has not been great. 12 goals against can’t be defended
@@AdamSmith-kb7ktyou clearly did not watch the game if you think 12 goals were scored on him. If you’re going to try and bring dialogue to the table at least have your facts correct.
@@srad8198 he let in 8 in about 1.5-2 periods. The team is dogshit for sure but it is still inexcusable to give up so many in such a short amount of time
@@srad8198 um you clearly don’t know a damn thing… the Blue Ridge Bobcats scored 12 goals on him. Look at the game tape, look at the stat line!
Do the coaches tell you why you are not playing? Like what type of things they want you to improve on?
Watertown milked you on their jersey sales. I am glad I didn't one now
Dude we need that pro hockey protein based cookbook! Patreon members only 😂 (I just signed up last week)
Trav also went to culinary school.
they understand your value completely!! a cheap marketing outlet/ youtuber should have went back to the EU
Trav has always been uploading his videos about 2 weeks behind real time. So do MANY UA-camrs on the platform. Not sure what the hate is about this is a pretty normal thing vlog style UA-camrs do. Also people trashing him about not being good enough don’t get it. Trav said he makes his money from his social media stuff. Hockey is what gives him views. Not to mention some of his living costs are covered while playing for teams so there’s really nothing wrong with him wanted to continue to play hockey and post about.
I dont understand the negativity in this comment section. I hope things turn around and keep getting better for you man.
sitting on a ramp at a skatepark in watertown writing in a journal in the rain.......
if Trav turns this around and starts shutting teams out and gets called up to the ECHL and then the A and then the big call up to the NHL it would be the greatest Cinderella story since Vince Papale ...
Trav is pushing 30 and has dog water stats his whole career at low levels lol
Not ever happening
This guy can barley make a save in a glorified beer league. This guy isn’t anywhere close to “actual” pro hockey
if that happens to trav I would would probably end my life
@@bradymcquaid1039what's your hockey db stats? You actually qualified to play Fed hockey? Probably not is my guess.
@k.s.7104 great point. Now I will never again complain about bad food since I am not a cook.
Brotha gave up 13 in his last game, can’t wait to hear about that one
No he didn’t - it was 12 goals, and he was only in net for 8 of them. I think the posted the wrong box score, but I watched the game - it’s on UA-cam as well.
He gives up 4, gets pulled - the other guy let’s in 4, then they put trav back in… and he lets in another 4
@@DylanMorrow48Okay, nonetheless letting in 8 goals in a single game is terrible. Let’s face it, he isn’t going to the NHL at all and I think he knows that at this point. He needs to face the cold hard truth that he ain’t gonna make it
petition to change the youtube name back to Trav4oilers 🤚
Shit, I didn't even realize he changed it lol when did this happen?
Calling the FED Pro Hockey is such a stretch lol
Trav, I'm not sure what's going on anymore? It seems that you're working your way into a new IT/social media career, and the dream may have become a nightmare. Set the record straight. I mean, I see what you're putting out, but the dream & the reality seem to be getting separated, and leaving people wondering? I guess that's why people tune in, eh?
I think that people didn't understand what he cleared in this video but people knew already and that is that he makes his money from yt because being a pro player wouldn't pay the bills. He might be the worst player on the team but is probably in the best position career wise. He makes his money and we get to see the behind the scenes of stuff we wish we'd tried but never did. Play Junior attend a nhl camp played college playing pro playing pro in europe. He has been dog sh** every step of the way but it doesn't matter because he has always had yt supporting him and to fall back on
@@tomasonderco7324 if he was actually a pro player, he'd make enough money to pay the bills. this is not pro hockey.
@@MiaM1ViiCEwell it is pro hockey. I dont want to take that from him. Any time you are compensated to play or perform, it is the literal meaning of being a professional. Is it 5th tier North American pro hockey? Yes. But even guys in the upper leagues can’t afford to live on team salary alone. It’s all relative.
He wasn't even a good junior B goalie and hes been dragging his "career" on by getting signed by teams who use him for publicity . He's an excellent youtuber and great with video editing it's time to give up the dream and transition this channel before he loses his fans. Perhaps he goes the way of Steve Dangle or Interviews various goalies.
@@Scottsudz84 It sounds like you're not big on his content. That's fine. Why watch and constantly comment on his videos? He's not asking anyone to tell him how to live his life. Let him do his thing.
start a family bro this is embarrassing
Q and chewie are just so filthy 😂
Should make a show based on your life. Pretty cool man. God bless you
Are you settled in yet? Waiting for an email response my young friend.
Time to get a real job trav. You're brutal bud.
Taff i would love to see you put that camera away for a season and i no daught could see your game advance in so many ways bro..put the passion into playing net rather than the vlog even have some1 do for you your to good of a net minder do risk over vlog...all the best regardless
gotta make money and stay afloat
lol @@trav4oilers
same bullshit stuff happens in my beer league to guy....at least you gettin paid!😉
Airpods are 5 dollars
always saying "best in the fed" like playing in the fed is something to be proud of. your head is bigger than amesbury's for gods sake. lets in 8 and never touches the ice during regulation again LOL
movement looks like its in slow motion lmfao
@@MiaM1ViiCEthere's a reason his coaches are telling him to be more athletic and he's getting benched.
At what point will he realize his potential and hang up the skates. He's making $20 a day ( which he spends on starbucks) to let in 12 goals a game. What is he gonna do when no team wants him or his media. He should just give up and start a job that he can have for the rest of his life but instead he will do this until its too late and then blame everything on Biden or the (Scamdemic) I gave up in high school because i knew i wasnt making a top league. He's 27 and getting passed around like my ex. Just quit and get a stable job
Man reading these comments, y'all sound like a bunch of crying old Karen's! Watch the podcast if you want to be up to date.
Y'all are complaining about something you already know!
If you were good enough you wouldnt be making videos like this and wouldnt have to worry.. you talk a big game then make videos of the actual reality
Hes laughing to the bank while you interact on his video
@@tomasonderco7324stop hes pays 125$weekly
@@tomasonderco7324are you slow?
@@tomasonderco7324is he though? Dude's barely staying afloat
@@bsculls obviously you are
Not choochie again 🤢
Hey Trav. First off I wanted to say I love you. I love everything about you. My name is Rory Kevinson Jr. and I am reaching out because I want to offer you a full-time job at Fidelity Investments. We have a bench in the office so you would be allowed to bring your diary around. We however would not supply weight room equipment.
I'm also saddened that every team you ever played on doesn't value you(at all). That's why I think you should completely quit and work here with me. Well, I have to get back to business, but I will eagerly be waiting for a kind thought-out response. Ok Travis Ridgen, Goodbye for now...
How much does it pay
@@nunayobiznass $200 USD every other 2 weeks
Is not watching the games really supporting your teammates? Getting in another workout has benefit, but so would studying the tendencies of the players you want to play with (and against). You can lift weights any time.
I totally disagree. There are no positive takeaways, only a focus on how I can benefit myself
@@trav4oilers Sorry, but the idea that studying tape won't benefit your game is short-sighted at best and willfully negligent at worst. Knowing tendencies prevents goals at every level.
