I played NCAA D3 from 1979 to 1983 as a Goalie (I know they call them Tendy these days but I don't) love seeing these videos enjoy you will remember the rest of your life. Born and raised in Milton and Cornwall Ontario and then Massachusetts. You all actually work so much harder than we did but times have changed. It is exciting the opportunities you all have today. My Granddaughter is playing travel hockey now at 8 years old. That said I will not let her be a Goalie lol
“I will not let her be a goalie” 😅 - beggars can’t be choosers! But hope so for your case! HAHHA! In all honestly, thanks for chiming in with this comment. Love it - where’d you play D3 back when you played? Thanks for the love again! 🙏
Great video. You are a natural at this kind of content. Some others out there are clearly ‘too cool for school’ in that they do not coexist well with the camera even tho they think they do lol. Also you are definitely headed for a successful coaching career (of course after your successful hockey playing journey that is!). I tuned into your channel after your last long form video . Great stuff and keep it up!
Wow Jaclyn, thanks for such a loving and meaningful comment. Means a ton to take some time and write a note like this. Much love… appreciate you recognizing this. What would you suggest for upcoming videos?! 📸 or what parts keep/takeaway?!
What’s up Nolan - great comment! It’d be great to bring back the Alumni! We got it started with Mike Hedden as HC now. Neumann’s about to shock a lot of programs by next season. Where are you from? When’d Joe play for Neumann?
Brand new subscriber. I have watched literally thousands of hockey games over my lifetime, and even more hockey videos. You have a fantastic channel. Keep up the good work here and on the ice. Oh loved, the flag and the toque. 🇨🇦🏒🥅 ❤️
Thank youuuu! Let’s go. So pumped to see a comment like this. What are you enjoying the most on the channel? What aspects of the video?! Still learning myself! 😎😅
@@lukecroucha I am really enjoying the day in the life or weekend in the life videos. I love the behind the scenes of how you and your teammates prepare for your games. Just as a fan of the game though I also I appreciate the videos that you have here to help other players with drills, and.techniques that will help them improve their game. And you give great advice about focussing on the important things.. You’re helping the next generation of hockey players. There are a lot of parents who can’t afford hockey schools and extra coaching for their kids. You are going to help them so much!!!. I am old I am allowed to be sentimental about stuff like that. ❤️🇨🇦 You can tell by my Av who my favourite team is and the type of game that I enjoy. It might be kind of fun to hear how you deal with the rivalries because you have so many games against the same teams. . At least I think it would be fun! I know you’re still in the middle of your season, but I would love to see how you prepare and what you do in the summer to get you ready for the next season.
My 10 year old squirt found your channel and loves watching these type videos. He loves seeing the work he needs to put in. Thanks for setting a great example for kids! BTW- he says white tape because even out of the side of his eye, he can see the puck still.
Hahahah love this comment. White tape is definitely better on the eye. So happy to hear this. Glad the message speaks to the young guns! What’s his fav parts?!
Great video, really enjoyed your content. Love college hockey and loved you sharing in your days. Hope you guys have a good end to your season and truly savor these days as young men student athletes, the years they go by fast. Enjoy your collegiate hockey careers EVERY DAY and take advantage of all opportunities post college....Best of luck boys!
Couldn’t of said it better here. Appreciate this truly. It’s tough realizing how fast this whole college experience flies by. Especially when you feel like you’re just getting started. Thank you for this comment. Means a lot ❤️ what’s your fav part of the day in a life?
Your canadian tendy used to play for winchester hawks, the team in trying out for this year as a tendy, kind of cool to see. Makes me want to pursue NCAA hockey
@@lukecroucha played in local competitive teams. Pretty much all across Ottawa and the odd tourney in Toronto or Quebec. Hoping to play in the EOJHL in the fall 🙏
Noooo frickening way that’s awesome. How’d you stumble on the 1st video?! What’d you enjoy - what would you add or take out in the next videos?! Thank you 🙏
@@lukecroucha Born and raised Canadian, but never got into hockey. Recently stumbled upon videos about equipment managers on the road and found the behind the scene stuff very interesting! Enjoying seeing your game prep with game analysis and ice bath etc. would love to see a "what's in my hockey bag" going through the gear you bring to games!
@@lukecroucha Tao ishizuka, yeah his college career might be over they still have a chance at pool c for the ncaa tournament this weekend is gonna be huge to see who wins there leagues
@lukecroucha I've been watching Utica for since I was in middleschool back in the late 2000s. Surprisingly it popped up in my suggested section so not entirely sure.
Let’s goooooo! Big W for watching my friend. Currently using a Bauer Nexus Pro Stock - whatever that is. Think it’s the 3N. Specs are 65 Flex P92 Max Blade!
Any tips for someone who's trying to play any higher level college hockey who's going to go into their second and final year of juniors this next upcoming season?
What’s up my friend! Definitely can help. If you want more of a conversation - DM me on Instagram because this answer could get lengthy! Where you playing currently?
We get the choice between all Bauer lines - like nexus cuz of the mid kick point! 😅 the team stick is a pro stock so a lil better than your average team stick. what stick do you use?!
Nice! I like trying different sticks and might try a bauer next. I have been using ft6 pro and couple of the trigger lines. Maybe I’ll look for one in the nexus family next time at hockeystickman
@@lukecroucha basically everywhere except when i’m alone or have time, and inside the slot. I miss out on so many opportunities because i can’t seem to shoot the puck.

We need Joe Mitchell (best player to come out of Neumann ever) to become Head Coach and teach these guys how to manage the game.

W VID! which nexus stick are u using?

@@lukecrouchaI’ll definitely hit you up on insta then! And I’m currently playing in the USPHL Premier
Nexus team stick? How do you like it? You get to pick or those the ones they supply
We get the choice between all Bauer lines - like nexus cuz of the mid kick point! 😅 the team stick is a pro stock so a lil better than your average team stick. what stick do you use?!
Nice!
I like trying different sticks and might try a bauer next. I have been using ft6 pro and couple of the trigger lines. Maybe I’ll look for one in the nexus family next time at hockeystickman
can you explain how you got to D3 because I'm 16 and trying to play D3 D2 D1
For sure white tape too
Hahaha booooo! Love it tho - you a money stick handler aren’t ya?
love the content bro, keep it up!!
Appreciate you Leo! Means a ton 💪 what did you enjoy the most?
Throughout the entire video?! What would you keep or take out??
What would you say to someone who struggles on shooting the puck during games?
SHOOT FROM EVERYWHERE 😅
Gotta get uncomfortable shooting from different angles - it’s a mindset. Is there particular places you don’t like to shoot?
@@lukecroucha basically everywhere except when i’m alone or have time, and inside the slot. I miss out on so many opportunities because i can’t seem to shoot the puck.
@@lukecrouchacan u show how u tie your skates?
If you're only going to have black coffee then why not have it at home. That's crazy😂
Hahah that’s fair point 😅 most of the time I do - was feeling special tho. And possibly a Wawa sponsor inbound😏 what do you think?!
We need some player interviews maybe Tyler ray he’s my favorite player besides you❤
Haha Ian - spoke to Tyler tonight. We’ll mic em up when we are back. Sound good?!😅
