    My son who is 8 is now obsessed with being a goalie. We watch your videos together and we both love them so much. He just played in a tournament yesterday and had a 94% save percentage. Can you please make a video for him and the other kids? Beginner tips, equipment suggestions, what you wish you knew, encouragement. Thanks from a goalie Dad.

      Equipment wise it’s expensive. Hockey is an expensive sport and goalie is even more expensive. But when you are young and small warrior is a good brand to have. As you grow older maybe like 11-12 switch to something like Bauer because warrior isn’t made for higher quality shots and will easily break. Bauer sticks are pretty good for a lighter stick. Same with Bauer helmets they are excellent and last many years. Vaughn makes newer style pads with hood straps and holds. Bauer pads are quite minimalistic and have very few straps. Stuff I wish I knew a while ago: stretch, yoga is your best friend if you can become a flexible goalie it will greatly help in desperation moments. It’s boring to start but it’s good when you do. Although he’s a bit young maybe working out shortly. Cardio is also big, you need stamina and endurance. Lastly, core work will help your stance stay close together and improve recovery. The last point is practice. As much as you can practice, you only become better from practice. Also getting into games, you see more shots and learn new stuff playing new teams

      Be very proficient at goalie skating style, he’s young and is he playing with forward skates? Totally different with no rocker, great advice above and I suggest any ice time he can get playing pick up as defense is minimal and he will face more shots, any time he can do pick up or stick time and face shots is great and usually free for goalies.

    I’ve had this surgery 3 times in Canada and a fourth one by Dr Philippon in Vail. The US guy is one of the world’s leading hip preservation and pioneered new techniques. Also his rehab program is night and day better than the stuff you get in Canada. Hopefully you had the passive motion machine to prevent scar tissue as well get on a bike 20 min twice a day. Take it slow, don’t put too much weight about 20lb. Putting the foot off the ground is actually worse for the hip and the hip flexor. Don’t overload the hip and don’t rush it! If you get some pain pull back and let it settle. You will return to action and hope the hip is finally fixed.

      It’s fairly bad. Have to take an doctor prescribed anti inflammatory before every icetime and constantly do mobility and physio. I’ve been told for a while that it’s only due to muscle imbalance but I’ve been doing physio for a long time. Wish I didn’t have to deal with it at 18 years old. Check out the video I made on it!

    LOL "There's dog sh** on the stairs." Good luck to you - sounds like your surgery was pretty successful. My hips are wrecked and both need replacement. I had a similar surgery to yours on my right hip in 2013, but my labrum was too shredded to repair, so the surgeon just cut half of it out. At least my range of motion on that side is better now, but I get a lot pain in my hip and back because there's not much cushion or lubrication in that joint. My left hip is trash and has very little range of motion like you showed at the beginning of the video. After seeing this I googled "goalie after hip replacement" and the results are surprisingly encouraging, so maybe I'll get back in the crease one day. Thanks for the content. Again, best of luck to you, and maybe beef up your pilates regimen.

    Glad to see you're on the (long) road to recovery. I totally empathize with the feeling of wanting to stick it out and be there for the team, but there is a point where an injury prevents you from being an asset and you become a liability. That was the case with my recent groin injury; simply dropping into a butterfly would have me near tears and trying to play through the injury simply meant my team was losing by bigger and bigger margins. Two months off the ice and physio has me back to almost normal and I am no longer a liability to my team.

    I feel your pain ... after 55 yrs of playing hockey, at many different levels, at 62 I had to bow out of playing due to one knee issue (meniscus tears & cartilage missing issues). I'd initially hurt myself in my late 20's or early 30's but ignored it. You've done the right thing by having the problem addressed at your age. I wish the best to you in your recovery and hope you get back to the level of play you were at. It's a bit too late on my part. I hope to see you out there again ... I enjoy the vids. Good luck.

    Trav, it has been a long time since I have watched or commented on your feed. This is an important one, albeit late. Part of my reason for having falling off the side of the Earth was having to go through hip surgery myself... DOUBLE HIP REPLACEMENT surgery. Those took place over the course of the major parts of the pandemic so between surgery and pandemic restrictions my whole life basically fell apart. It has been 3 years since my left hip was replaced and just over 2 years since my right hip replacement. I walked home from my first surgery (shhh, don't tell my surgeon) the second was not so forgiving, but, my point was going to be, even though I am not a pro, even though I am twice you age (almost), and even though my surgeries were something more extreme than what you are getting, I am looking forward to getting some new equipment, lacing up and getting between the pipes for whatever pick-up-shinny-beer-league will have me. You are young and strong and far more talented than me and I know you can and will get through this easily and believe me, brother, you will feel like a new man in no time. I was terrified of the first surgery and begging to get the second. Now I am doing all the things I used to, weightlifting, martial arts, occasionally running, piggy-backing my daughter to and/or from school, and I feel great as I am sure you will, too. Remember, you are not what you have done, you are what you have overcome. You have overcome a lot. Best wishes from me and looking forward to sometime grabbing a coffee when you are through Ontario's Capitol next.

      @@trav4oilers No need to be sorry Trav. I am very happy to have both of my hips replaced. I am back to all the things I love to do, except playing goal. I have aspirations of a return to the ice soon. Point was, I have two metal hips now and I am able to do weight training, walking, running, jumping, martial arts, just haven't tested them on the ice yet. If I can recover to this extent at 56 years old you can get through this, no problem.

    Trav, you did the right thing. Don’t burry your head in shame and wallow in the difficulties that are to come over these next 6 months. Those are a microscopic time period in what could be a very renewed career. If you hadn’t gotten the surgery, you’d be dragging along until eventually you’d get a career ending injury, and then that career is out the window. You took the necessary risks and sacrifices to stay afloat, and what do winners do to survive?! They stay afloat until they can smooth sail

    I’m 46. Played at the Pro-Level in-line hockey in the very Early days. I got to play some high level amateur ice. I grew up near Washington DC.
    I need both hips replaced. I have damaged GSV veins as well. My body wasn’t healthy enough in April to do surgery. I had a few dental issues that needed to be done, then I got a staph infection, then Covid, now the staph sore won’t heal….
    I’m having Vein surgery on 2.15.2023.. 6 weeks after I’ll have my left hip.
    I can’t walk, I cry I’m pain most days and if I get more than 2 hours of sleep a night I’m happy.
    I did it all for the glory… no money was there. I haven’t skated in 13 years. I miss it but… I’ll never skate again. I feel your pain! Good luck!

Most of my cartilage on my hip was messed up,with a torn labrum, and a rare disease were the femur head bone was dying and turning into mush. The bone compressed and had to get intense surgery. He fixed a lot but still at 40% of what I used to be. 3 months post opp I still can’t walk great and walking is still hard. Hopefully Trav won’t have these issues.

    You have nothing to feel bad about getting the surgery. I know this may sound harsh but the team is a year to year basis. Your contract is a year to year in that league. Your walking properly is for life. Your knee damage stopping at the very least.. and the knee hopefully getting better because the geometry is corrected is for life. You now have the ability to 1) Do the thing you love and truly see how good you are without pain and 2) Live out the rest of your life without intense pain.. that to me is far more worth it then a few months of hockey where you were being used sparingly. At the end of the day you did something for yourself so that you can be the best you.. anyone who has problem with that can pound sand.
