I’m going down the rabbit hole on your videos. This is what I’ve been looking for to get current gear. Thanks for all the types. I was looking for options to change from toe laces on my Brian’s pads. You’ve said a couple times The toe bungy’s you promote are good for guys with “bigger” feet. I’m 5’11” but only have 7.5 skates. Question is: Will your straps fit smaller feet?

man i can't get over how thin the pads are these days. I'm so jelly. Plus the modern style adapted and made easier by the equipment design would have suited my play perfectly. I miss playing net so much.

I tested some pads last year vs my ol' leather straps...it's like 30% lighter or more depending on how old your leather goes. The material slides fast on the ice as well. Wasn't sure how I would like it on my first game. And it took like 3 games for me to see the benefits. But by the 6th or 7th game I played I was sold.

[@jimclements2890]

Excellent video, so many key tips. I can't thank you enough. If there was one "light bulb" moment I had it was; the shooting tip and to grip the stick with the bottom part of the glove. I'm weak in the shooting dept and often disperse ducks up the ice. This is something I want to improve upon greatly before next season. Thanks again sir and keep up the great goalie content.

See ya soon. Hampus

[@TheMe9595]

I’m curious to know how you get your positioning consistent. I tend to use the posts to orient myself to start but as soon as I start moving I start to lose my spot and that’s when I tend to let bad goals in where I wasn’t covering part of the net.

[@trav4oilers]

I still loose it from time To time. Just lots of practice man

[@zacharyshield]

I know I’m not the same as a pro goalie but I play u14aaa and it just takes a bunch of reps to know where you are in the net but also I know some people that use land marks like the dots to know where the corner of the crease is and help find where they are in the net

[@TheDan14]

Playing 5 days a week to build that familiarity with your angles where you subconsciously understand how to orient yourself with the dots/boards/posts (everyone loves to have a goalie at open hockey) works great (until you go play a tournament on olympic ice or some weird smaller rink and you get scored on far side from the half boards lol)

[@littlegirl0092]

[@trav4oilers]

Thanks for giving me a chance bro and stoked to here you hoped back on the ice. All the best and see ya soon!

[@DrProfessor3]

2 hacks for you: 1. Dangler - I put some of those felt circles that go on the bottom of chairs on the inside of my dangler to remove the announce of the clanking it makes. 2. Music - I put motorcycle helmet speakers and a mic into my helmet. Amazon sells them for like $15 on the cheap end. Nice for practice, pickup, or if you're wild like me discord with my brother and girlfriend when I'm in a game and they are on the bench.

[@trav4oilers]

So you're listening to music on the ice? lol

[@TWTexasA1]

I’ve done quite a bit of metal work on aircraft and one of the most important things is filling and sanding the cut edges very smooth, #1 it allows you to bend without it breaking, I would think on carbon fiber hockey stick it should definitely help to keep the stick from cracking and the fibers from spreading …give that a try…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@trav4oilers]

Guess I gotta smooth it next time, thank you brother

[@mitchellman32]

Good tips Trav. My Optik 3's are all Velcro so not much room for adjustability but it's fine. As far as danglers go I was going through 2-3 a year and I prefer the head mobility of no dangler & just try & tuck my chin on shots up high. Plus any goalie knows it's really all about sty, as Jeremy Clarkson once said "Looking good is more important than looking where you're going."

Recently cut about 3 to 4 inches off the top of my stick (like Carey Price) and it made a huge difference for puck handling. My shot isn't quite as powerful but it's more accurate and much better for the 95 percent of the time goalies play the puck in shorter range.

[@rustysreality1091]

How about step steel runners? Allows you more angle whilst keeping blade contact on the ice? I would consider that an advantage. Have you ever used them.? Probably take some getting used too..

[@yassinerayadh7341]

Little hack for your defender to gain a second against forecheck (when he’s behind the net). Move as far forward in your crease when the forchecker (opponent) rushes your defender it will make him decide whether to go left or right one second earlier and allow your defender to take the right decision.

[@trav4oilers]

The ol decoy to the corner! Thanks fro watching Yassine!

[@christopherenger1602]

I read a interview with my favorite goalie of all time. This was during the 2000 playoffs. He said after every practice he would take 50 pucks and shoot forehand and 50 pucks backhand. I try and do this all the time. I admit 50 pucks is alot.

I've been doing the old water trick and leaving taped underneath something heavy for 24 hours. Did this a couple times. Always stiffens back up. Other than just use, do you have any other tips??

[@trav4oilers]

Thanks for watching Nolan, I'm gonna do a 2nd updated version of this in the summer and that'll be in it. Honestly I just wear around the house, put it in the bathroom with the shower as hot as it goes to steam it, and use it on ice. Best break in method

[@d4comreal]

for the first hack, someone in front of me had 50.08 lbs, so they opened up their suitcase and ate a bag of chips

[@trav4oilers]

Now that is how you save overage fees

[@lou_n3189]

For the style hack if you are wearing suspenders you can actually sow the clips they attach to on the inside of your pants, so that way they dont interfere with the jersey tuck

[@trav4oilers]

Yes and that would be fresh AF!

[@NavyPanther54]

Switching to a Turco grip was huge for me playing the puck. I still suck, and I don't even think I can backhand it as I've never tried, but it's a game changer

I've gone back to leather behind the knee. It pulls the pad back to a vertical position in the butterfly and prevents the "V". Similar in theory to why many pad manufacturers are using stiffer integrated kneeblocks.

[@jakehenricks8934]

Beside the bungee cord I was doing all of these at 11 years old 15 years ago. No beef, I think all goalies should know this (and I should’ve kept at it lol) but I got to say I liked having the toe of my pillows secured so if my skate slipped off I could use my pad to push off the post or someone’s stick.

[@trav4oilers]

I’m tellin ya bro. Once you try the toe ties you’ll never go back. Thanks for the love and watching. Working on new version soon :)

[@zacharyciucci3330]

Hack that I use for probably 2 or 3 years now is putting the snow u get in the crease around the post. It has bailed me out of many wraps and bad bounces with the puck. Example I went behind the net to play it and it took a weird ass bounce off the Zam door. Bounced in such a way it could've just been a tap in goal but the snow came in clutch and stopped it behind the post

[@trav4oilers]

Yesssssss I used to do that as well. Refs kick it out sometimes

Yeah, will definitely try some of these out. Although one thing. What’s everyone’s problem with danglers and neck guards? I mean, if you pay attention to them all the time, you’ll notice them, but if you aren’t constantly focusing on them you will have no idea they’re even there. I feel like they’re definetely worth the extra protection. The only place where I would sacrifice a little bit of security is with the mask, with a cheater cage. Not a cat-eye, because those can be easily noticed and has much more likelihood of something getting through, but definitely a cheater cage.

I've got a new set of CCM R1.9 pads some time ago and i just cant figure out how to strap them. I've tried almost everything and i just cant seem to get the perfect fit. They always feel wiggly and loose, in worse cases my left pad doesnt even rotate back and gets stuck facing down. I'd appreciate some help because its really restricting my skating and mobility :(

[@trav4oilers]

Sometimes (I feel) the toe tie is the huge connection point that needs to be fixed. Hope that helps man

[@borsi_xd]

@@trav4oilers Ah okay then maybe a bungee toe tie would help. I'll try changing to them. Thank you:)

[@place_desjardins]

If the pad gets stuck in the rotated position after you get up, it's usually because the boot of the pad is stuck on top of the skate. If you have a boot strap that goes through the rear of the skate or through the bottom of the skate, you'll want to loosen that strap because that is clamping the boot to the skate in the butterfly position. Other option is to remove it. Now, the pad should rotate back easily. If it's too loose, don't tighten the boot strap, tighten the lowest calf strap.
