In all my life and many years of playing hockey... From Mites to Juniors... I literally don’t think I’ve ever been to a rink/arena that didn’t have pegs for the net... That’s the strangest thing I’ve ever heard.. Was there a reason why.? Are the Swedish like Ice purest and don’t believe in stabbing them into the ice or some shit?

[@houseadams4841]

Also... glad to see you playing again. Not that I know you from the guy walking down the street... But I’ve watched your videos for a while.. and you seem to have an extra “pep” in your step.. I know the importance of playing while you still can and being on a team.. Best of luck..

[@nilzzon0332]

House Adams im from sweden. There are a few rinks that dont have these pegs because most of the hockeyplayers and staff are not aware of this problem for goalies. I also think that the staff are just too lazy to buy these pegs...

[@sglc7100]

Trav, you need to get the rink a set of pegs! I'm sure you feel the same way but nothing is worse in this world than playing without pegs. I feel like I can't even play hockey when I don't have them. Btw, I'm 6'6" so there's a lot of weight on the pegs.

[@T0rche]

I gotta admit... I had my doubts... In life in general I'm a pretty skeptical person. I have a hard time being positive sometimes lol... I was like: "Man he seems like a cool dude but he spends his time making videos and joking around... and looking for sponsors... he's too distracted. He's not going to make it in pro hockey" ... but watching the last couple videos I gotta say really changed my whole perspective. Seeing you hauling your gear on the bus for a 45 min commute to practice, making due with that tiny living space, being away from home. Doing all this out of your own pocket.... That's pure motivation man. You really are chasing your dream at any cost. I wish you all the luck and keep up the hard work! Respect.

[@Travis_Ridgen]

KZbin is my full time income buddy, been my job for 2.5 years. Get your facts straight eh

I got a good laugh when they panned the camera over to the "dryer". Good stuff Trav! Keep at it!

[@starterok]

Actually during wintertime drying clothes outside is a thing. The temperature difference is the thing there; the moisture dissipates faster when first moved out, and again if they`re frozen when moved back in...

[@Travis_Ridgen]

It's a crazy life here bro

[@AlexKall]

Indeed, you can dry cloths outside even in - 50c. My grandmother did that, it was the only way they could. House was not big enough to dry them indoors with 6 kids. The water goes from solid form to gas form without the liquid form in between. Called sublimering in Swedish.

[@RyOnDrums]

It's definitely entertaining to see the house tour and what you think of everything (that seems completely normal for someone from Europe, like I've never owned a dryer for example and that fridge is a standard size).

hahah oh Patty, how ya been man. We gotta get that collab

[@vizay]

The name of the store is actually ICA (pronounced something like eeka), maxi is the largest kind of ICA store with the best prices, there's also ICA kvantum, supermarket and nära (kvantum beeing largest of the three and nära beeing smallest). And for the living situation it's quite a mess in Stockholm, best bet is to look in various local Facebook groups (should be one specifically for flemingsberg) for second hand rental of rooms or apartments. That guy promising you a cellar for 200 bucks sure as hell set you up, Stockholm is never that cheap unfortunately. Expect to pay anywhere between 4k-10k Swedish kronor depending on size, sometimes even more. Feel free to hit me up in a pm or so if you wanna know more about our glorious but insanely expensive country and specifically Stockholm (live on the north side) :)

Our rink does have rubber pegs but we don’t use them, our team has metal pegs with spikes so it’s easer to have the goals at different places without needing to drill them down, the rubber ones are used for games though

In all seriousness, with a myriad of adversities it would have been easy to let your work ethic slip. Through preparedness, and dedication to hardwork you've earned this opportunity to become your best self. Regardless of what becomes on the ice, this journey has taught true perspicacity. You've gained a real understanding of successes and failures, it will allow you to take a thoroughly unapologetic and level headed approach to whatever comes next. Keep it up my man!

@@Travis_Ridgen But I feel like you see a lot of goals where they just know The goalie is going down on their knees, so they just shoot above their shoulder. I mean, you are probably right, but it feels like goalies always keeps their gloves low and never react to it. Also feels like shorter goalies does this. Also, good luck in Sweden! ;)

Coach Mike is a great coach i have had him to.

[@Travis_Ridgen]

Very calming influence. Love him so far

[@place_desjardins]

Great video. Wheeled goalie bag seems like a good thing to have now, but they are pricey. Unless I missed it, how did you meet up with Sweens and what is he doing in Sweden? I see the goalie coach spends time with one of the goalies while the team practices with the other goalie. Why are there only 8 or so guys at the practice? I'm assuming the roster is going to have 15 to 20 players.

[@Travis_Ridgen]

8 guys at practice is kinda a regular thing here hahah
