Trav i think you need to come to terms with the fact that this is probably the end of the road. Youre not exactly lighting this league up and you've burned a lot of bridges in the fed. In hindsight you should have stayed in spain. That way you could have had more content for the travel vlog.
Agreed, it was over a long time ago. If Trav was such an “elite” goalie and a “pro”… why wouldn’t teams be knocking at the door trying to sign him? Truth is he simply isn’t a good goalie and it’s all coming full circle. Give it a few months and he will be back doing train and hotel review videos 😂
Trav the FPHL is 10+ games into the season and teams have their goalies. This false hope you have that a team is going to come calling and sign you to sit on the bench is a bit of a stretch. There’s tons of other goalies that are younger with better stats and legit playing experience. Your FPHL experience the past few years of consistently under performing and proving you aren’t a starting goalie is a big sign for teams to pass on you. Just because you have a following online with your channel and podcast doesn’t mean any of these teams owe you shit tbh… especially the fact that you’ve bad mouthed most of the organizations you’ve been a part of. Time for a reality check - this is exactly why you’re playing in “pro” beer league, it’s realistically where you belong
If an FPHL team wanted to call up an emergency goalie from the APHL, they're not going to call a guy with a sub .90 save percentage and a 3+ GAA on an out of state senior team, even if it wasn't for all the stuff you mentioned
Trav looks and sounds like he's frustrated. He's been banished to a mediocre Senior AAA league. The telling sound of silence (of his smart phone) is slowly eating away at him..
Two things that bugs me. 1) He keeps trying to find ways to lower the PWHL since these women have made it further than him. 2) lack of self awareness. He is an aging goalie that was never good and brings lots of baggage. He isn't excelling at this lower level hockey. I think he needs to just live with that.
@@Jermont86Let’s not forget that most of the women in the PWHL played college hockey and graduated, while Trav bailed on his team one semester in, trashed them, and dropped out of school. Really bad look!
@billholt33 let not forget he trashed every team he left and then surprised no lower level team wants him (even if we forget his numbers are sub 0.800)
Very few hockey coaches seem to feel like there’s a clear picture for the NCAA. As far as the NIL portion, we’ve already seen a quarterback advised by an agent drop out of school in Nevada after 3 games due to “low compensation”
Trav claims to be so professional and rips other guys for not taking things seriously, but in most cases, what Trav says and what he does are two different things.
Michigan has 7 Division I hockey schools that CHL players can pick from. Some have massive alumni money and can offer side money on top of a full ride scholarship. What I think we’ll see is a high churn rate along with scouts being more than “family advisors” and more European representation. The USHL and USNDP may have to form some new allegiances
Let's be absolutely for real here. A lot of U18 A League stats are beginning to show on EP Every single senior league in Canada is on EP. The APHL is not a serious league. Not even close
@blank-n3w1 It's just so tiresome. Guys are paid to play all over Canadian Senior Hockey. Fat fucking cheques. $1000/game in some cases. And we don't call it semi-pro. Because it's not. It's senior hockey.
Should get Ian White back on. He just skated the Red Wings alumini game with the cast of shoresy. Maybe he can hook you up with a contact for one of them.
"i guess the queso and guac wasn't sitting quite right" well gee what a shocker right before a hockey game

There's also no vlog content like when he had big sexy in motor city, these guys he plays with now all have day jobs and families.
Tune in next week for the next episode of Dave Wheeler tries to steer Travis’ bonehead takes back into normalcy.
Talking about being soft, didn’t you punch a guy because he said your podcast sucked?

@@sa35992 Why would any FPHL team in need of a goalie sign someone that has proven to not perform well in the league? Makes no sense
@@blank-n3w1 exactly

This isn’t close to senior AAA, would be small town senior A at best. closer to full length beer league. He’s donezo for any real semi pro leagues.
@@89dungeyThe League is very slow, you can use a Calendar to track plays developing. He could be a lower end ranked Goaltender in this League.

Dave’s mic sounded off this week. His “S’s” sounded especially odd.
Very few hockey coaches seem to feel like there’s a clear picture for the NCAA. As far as the NIL portion, we’ve already seen a quarterback advised by an agent drop out of school in Nevada after 3 games due to “low compensation”
its called the governors cup
Wheels correct me if I’m wrong. But for US kids in the Chl does the education package include tuition in that players home state?
The PWHL should have only home state born players with an exception of very limited amount of sign ons playing
2 goals on 25 shots is good, id do think both the 5th and 6th goals were stoppable but impossible to save everything
28:35 good job Dave... trav why the tf are you downing a f**king huge ass burrito before a game, if anything get a chicken salad with veggies

It’s because it’s literally glorified beer league. They just throw “semi pro” in the league description to make it sound competitive

Dave is a pro!
He's got the sweetest golf swing for a guy that stands on the wrong side of the ball
Hey Trav, good game last night, how would you rate your play?
That five hole goal 😂
There are some stats for some players from a few teams on Elite Prospects, they'll probably have everything up by the end of the season
I like the pod fun to listen to !
