If you want the early scoop, listen to the podcast every sunday for all the up to date and more in depth details of what is happening in my life in pro hockey
Could see this coming from a mile away. Both goalies in-front of Trav are significantly better. This is the problem with having a less than stellar resume. Trav needs guys to get called up or get hurt, to sniff playing time. He's basically been hired on as the teams social media / marketing coordinator, same as Motor City. He doesn't train properly to increase athleticism or explosiveness. Not to mention those things don't appear over night. I'm hoping he can turn it around but seems like another long season to come.
I was looking for this statement. And I agree. I watched the live stream where the 3 goalies split. They are much faster in their movements. Trav would benefit from quick feet off-ice, sprints and plyometric training. But as you said, it takes time to develop and the motor pathways are usually developed in our younger years.
I find the issue is that he lacks explosiveness and athleticism, but at the same time, he doesn't have elite reflex. He works hard, but he needs to do more to catch up to others. On top of that, he has played less than a handful of games in the past few years.
Trav is a RUclipsr that plays hockey. The team is interested in him because he brings subscribers, videos and a podcast. If not for his social media presence, he would be in a beer league. This is his fantasy camp.
No matter the job, no matter the profession, no matter the hustle, no matter the hobby you will always get negative feedback. Negative feedback especially in this day and age of social media. Anytime you get coin for what you love like hockey, podcasts, content shows etc, you are enjoying life. You are winning the game and thats why you are full of smiles and nothing but positivity my brother....Keep it all up!
Reading these comments has to be a mixed bag. As long as you love it Trav - per your own words - then keep diggin because its all worth it. The only way then is thru work ethic and being smart about training/preparation. U got this
You are not in the Fed because you are a top of the line goalie, same goes for the ECHL and even the NHL. Everybody can improve in areas whether it’s diet, flexibility, strength, speed, endurance, attitude etc. Constructive criticism is a good thing as long as it’s implemented with a positive attitude.
Something’s gotta change Trav. I see ya doing all the training and working on your game and you are improving. That said, we gotta get a “wow” factor in your game. Right now your game looks like you’ve been training hard. We gotta get some creativity and game breaker explosiveness in your bag. Seeing what I have, you being the third string isn’t going to change any time soon until you show the team you’re the one. Stand out and play like you’re a 5’10” goalie.
So, what are you going to do to get faster? I have a suggestion. Work on explosive resistance movements in the gym. I always see you lifting slow and methodical. Nothing wrong with that, but you need to train your fast twitch muscles too. Explosive concentric, slow eccentric.
Totally rooting for Trav and have seen significant improvement. The goalies in front of him have higher level experience…..one has been on OHL highlight reels with some pretty big save % numbers in that league. Life isn’t easy….if it was, there would be 250 players in each team, 20 goalies on each roster and each league would have 300 teams to fill those rosters. Trav isn’t trying to achieve the easy thing. So Keep pushing Trav! You never know which random day or injury will bring opportunity knocking. You are there for the Fed journey. Not a single season.
I mean, if one of the goalies was in the OHL and the other is Trav than yea, the OHL-experienced goalie is gonna be the better choice for a team as an actual goalie and they'll keep Trav around for social media and exposure.
So mature of you to realize that constructive criticism of your game is meant to help and be “constructive”. Good on your team management to also point out your strengths as well. Lesson for all young players, must realize that there is always room for improvement and things that can be worked on. Keep it up!
Theres always a positive Trav. keep going. its been a while since i visited your vids but here we are! Friday i won my first 4th Division game as an emergency backup goalie. They had a better team but because of my performance (Kept it 0-0 despite being heavily outshot) in the first period we got the W 3-4 in the end. They had a lot of 3rd division players so it was a difficult match but i managed. I remember asking you back about 2 and a half years ago if i was too old to start and here i am battling and winning games against 3rd and 4th division players already in my 2nd year as a goalie so thank you for giving me the courage to play and do what i love!
@@robertsmith908 Yes and i have played some for fun matches against 2nd division and ex 1st division players in my country. Got some good practice in last year and am now leading in save% in the league and my team is first :)
Nice video. Well, there's two ways to get faster in nets. 1. Lose weight and maintain the same strength. If the team has a nutritionist, maybe you can talk to him or her. 2. Stay at the same weight and gain strength. If the team has a strength and conditioning coach, maybe you can talk to him or her. You being taller than the other goalies, it is going to take more effort to get faster than shorter goalies.
Tell Thack coach Rod says hey and ask Jordan what happens when he’s late for practice 😂 Glad to see both still play. You too Trav. Dylan is a beauty too! Use to cross the border into Watertown as a yute to shop (Syracuse when lucky). Peewee tournament in Buffalo . . . Enjoy the East coast.
to what use do you have a goalie coach if he can't point out your lack of athleticism or what keeps you from getting playing time. i would say its a dream for a team to have a goalie who is tall, all you have to do is angle yourself right to the puck. keep pushing good luck this season
It isn't enough, any play that requires re-positioning will ruin this goalie. He is too slow, and this will be an easy tell when playing with high level guys.
23 years later after Tom Brady and countless others have proved speed isn’t always the key, I hope you earn your chance to play and Win, which ultimately is what’s important. Stay positive and don’t fall prey to years prior. Take the request and do your best.
Hoping I would have seen you play us yesterday in Elmira ….. was glad to see Tate Leeson playing,.,, he is one of my favorite players… definitely an instigator lol….
Hey Trav I would like come to one of your home games I live In pickering,ont and have been following you for some time . I played in Europe .I like that your not a quitter . I coach two minor hockey teams and I'm sure you can inspire then to reach there future goals in hockey and in life. maybe we can meet some time .Rob v
wtf this made me look like an absolute dumbass looking at it now i forgot to put ole jordan’s name in there lol but i played with jordan in this hockey tournament in wpg lmao
I don’t understand people. Being assholes just to be assholes. I’m betting they have a lot less to say in person. Keep playing at the highest level you can, one day you’ll be done and have no cause to wonder how far you could have gone. Also…on ice…loosen up…train robotically but play fluidly.
Hey trav, great video as always. I wonder, do you think in the past, when you struggled taking constructive criticism, that maybe that helped you in some way? I'm a dog shit beer league goalie myself, and I noticed that a lot of goalies, myself included, tend to get in their own head, and sometimes even end up quitting goalie all together. I wonder if your self-defense mechanism against getting yourself down, is to just say "fuck that" to any negative talk, so that you can get back between the pipes?
I quit playing because I had a .940 SV % and was still eating shit from coaches every practice. A goalie’s job is to stop the puck, not do yoga. I made way more playing music than I was ever going to get out of hockey. Thank you to the dickheads who ragged me, and sorry you list 70% of your games after I quit.
Add a little more Grant Fuhr athleticism in your game with the new hip now you are certainly capable of it. You also have a never give up attitude have that find it’s way into your saves. Good luck this season. There are so many of us that believe in you and your potential. 🙏
He is hell bent trying to prove he is a professional hockey player, rather than someone who played Jr B and went to beer league (which is where his career would have led under normal circumstances). He will emphasize that “hockey isn’t for fun” and shade online commenters by saying, “let’s see your EliteProspects page.” Because it is his entire identity, Trav would rather die than have people think he is a rec level goalie. So, he scraps and claws for roster spots in no-pay or low-pay pro leagues where he can’t compete with the other goalies. He honestly does everything EXCEPT enjoy the game of hockey.
For the record, I hope it works out, and he sees regular playing time in the FPHL. I do not think it is likely, but I am rooting for it. But why this goal is so important? I think it is entirely ego driven.
Hey Trav, I wanna see you play but if you're not can we at least smash glizzys in the stands? Are you still planning on flying patreon members for an ultimate FPHL experience?
I feel bad for you because you can see you want to be #1 starter and play pro but when you think about who you idolize Matt murray isn't it ! When he was a rookie yes now no the stuff you need is usually learned when young it will take alot of hard work to become faster and more athletic
Hola! Look what kind of food your eating (i onoe its free) go back to vegetarian clear up your blood flow. As a 53 yr old goalie i pound back a large Tims 1 hr before playing young players and spend off hours visualizing speed. Fuer man... Fuer.
..and i always recall speed from reactive speed when a punch or 3 are flying at my head or how i have 1/4 second to react when falling down a transition to concrete off a skateboard.. all makes a puck seem slow.

I love you’re living the dream, and it’s been a fun watch. Keep working at it and keeping us looped in for the ride.
It’s still not too late to go get a real job and play men’s league once a week
Just keep working hard and be ready! If youre on a team you have a chance. Stay strong bud!!

Great VLOG. Taking the negative and turning it into a positive is always a good thing. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Great video trav
things that made this vlog great...
1) Trav bails at practice XD (sry that was funny)
2) Trav with an Oskarshamn shirt
3) Big sexy appearance!!!
Tell Thack coach Rod says hey and ask Jordan what happens when he’s late for practice 😂

Stay positive and forget about the negativity
Damn hot Smurf alert in this vid Trav right up your alley
Great video trav keep bringing more videos love this one Canadian to another 🇨🇦
Management: Trav... we want you to be more like a Bobrovsky, Saros, Hellebuck... oh, and dont suck.
Trav: Umm... ok...
hahahahaha
Your jerseys are fire in person, I saw them for the first time last night, Watertown itself looked really good with ds88 and tl29

It isn't enough, any play that requires re-positioning will ruin this goalie. He is too slow, and this will be an easy tell when playing with high level guys.
Keep working your tail off and leaving it all out there
Will there be a full breakdown of the new gear ? Always like your new gear vids.
Wednesday!
Still cleaning while Watertown was out of water? Trav, keep being you. See you in a few days!
We are haha
I'm curious. How many goalies is in your team?
Watertown has three goalies.
23 years later after Tom Brady and countless others have proved speed isn’t always the key, I hope you earn your chance to play and Win, which ultimately is what’s important. Stay positive and don’t fall prey to years prior. Take the request and do your best.
If speed isn't everything you better be elite at all the other aspects of your game
would be nice if you played.. get all hyped for your seasons and nothing :(
Hoping I would have seen you play us yesterday in Elmira ….. was glad to see Tate Leeson playing,.,, he is one of my favorite players… definitely an instigator lol….
He is the man!
Hey Trav I would like come to one of your home games I live In pickering,ont and have been following you for some time . I played in Europe .I like that your not a quitter . I coach two minor hockey teams and I'm sure you can inspire then to reach there future goals in hockey and in life. maybe we can meet some time .Rob v
I knew he get Opportunity by end of the season
Agent review soon?
Just bought 2!
i played in a native hockey tournament this past summer lol
wtf this made me look like an absolute dumbass looking at it now i forgot to put ole jordan’s name in there lol but i played with jordan in this hockey tournament in wpg lmao
I don’t understand people. Being assholes just to be assholes.
I’m betting they have a lot less to say in person.
Keep playing at the highest level you can, one day you’ll be done and have no cause to wonder how far you could have gone.
Also…on ice…loosen up…train robotically but play fluidly.
1-“You are really pushing my buttons today.”
2-“Which one is 'mute'?”
Hey trav, great video as always.
I wonder, do you think in the past, when you struggled taking constructive criticism, that maybe that helped you in some way?

I think it def hurt me, trying to be a pro about it
Love it trav
A little negative feedback is always good to it tells you what you need to do
Can’t wait to see the game
You 3rd on the depth chart again?
Keep your chin up..keep working hard.. your still getting paid to play and train and improve. Your time will come.
Can someone tell me why he can’t talk about his previous team? I missed that I guess
Was threatened the league would suspend me if i ever mention them by name again
Elite level 3rd string fed goalie 🤣
I quit playing because I had a .940 SV % and was still eating shit from coaches every practice. A goalie’s job is to stop the puck, not do yoga. I made way more playing music than I was ever going to get out of hockey. Thank you to the dickheads who ragged me, and sorry you list 70% of your games after I quit.
I'm also live in Brandon!!
side to side movement is lacking. besides that you look great

this man said Grant Fuhr
What’s the goal for you once you retire from hockey??
Love you bro, but you're caliber of hockey is that of a Monday night beer league..
Dude, I was eating a pulled pork sandwich when you did a close up of that sh*t splattered toilet seat 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
My bad
Who's in the hounds Shirt?
Don’t get why so many people hate on someone who’s just trying to enjoy hockey.
He is hell bent trying to prove he is a professional hockey player, rather than someone who played Jr B and went to beer league (which is where his career would have led under normal circumstances).

I got paid on thursday, I am a pro lol
I DO consider you a pro - I said you play in low-pay pro leagues and struggle to compete.

Hey Trav, I wanna see you play but if you're not can we at least smash glizzys in the stands? Are you still planning on flying patreon members for an ultimate FPHL experience?
I don't eat hot dogs :) flying patreon members may be on pause
Can we get more JT content
Hey can you help me get a game used puck from one of your games in the regular season
How do we do that ?
Look good
I feel bad for you because you can see you want to be #1 starter and play pro but when you think about who you idolize Matt murray isn't it ! When he was a rookie yes now no the stuff you need is usually learned when young it will take alot of hard work to become faster and more athletic
Just get a job get a stable life and go to beer league
looking sharp both on and off the ice. a few years and u will be starting in the SHL. love the vlogs keep it up big guys
Lol
he's 27.. he does make entertaining videos though.
I didn't see you at sat river sharks game
Scratched
Sorry man but I don't see any major pro hockey in your future. You need to gain muscle twitch like martial artist have which will increase your speed
Trav i love ur positivity but ur like 6’7” yet look like a 5’11” goalie, with a weak glove hand idk I don’t think u got it buds
Emotional damage 😭
Dude Dec 3rd I will get you hot dogs dec for you I will serve you, not pay for them lol
I’m making it a goal to drive for Pittsburgh to Watertown to see a game and hopefully see Trav play, if not, meet him.
