I still make tons of stick saves from standing position. I'm so old, I was trained to keep my stick flat on the ice at all times and to stay on my feet as much as possible. I've definitely adapted to the new style of play. But once you hit 40, all those butterflies start to catch up with you.

I grew up in the “stick on the ice 100% of the time” era. So I was using 27 and 28 inch paddles. I went back to 27s for beer league but started shaving them down earlier this year and it’s been working great. Part of what keeps it fun is experimenting with this stuff.

Totally agree with you on why the standard paddle is shaped like it is on the top. It has never felt comfortable. Personally I would be very happy if they had the trigger grip as a standard offering, not custom.

Personally, i cut the shaft of all my sticks for 3 or 4 years now, absolutely love the feel of a shorter stick while stickhandling, and i feel like i can put more weight on it than i would with a longer one.
I papersand and then paint all white all my sticks now, cause the shaft grips on the bauer sticks i use feels like nails on a chalkboard to me. I love the all white look and when i'm in a paddledown i feel like i see the puck better when it's close to me. It also allow me to buy the sticks i like in any color without worrying about it 👌🏻

Hey Bring back the Curtis Curve Victoriaville !! Haven’t checked you out in a bit Trav, Excellent to see you in the FED !!! I enjoyed trying all the different gear back in the day, but at some point you have to find what works and stick with it, and stop all the pucks. I am amazed at how guys move in the bulky upper body protection, and the heavy goal masks of today. I’d be interested to see you try a Mage helmet, or the Warwick Hasek style helmet and cage. Maybe an off season video test try, for some fun just to see how the vision is in one of those. I hope your team gives you an opportunity at a few games in a row so you can get on a roll, Best
of Luck !!

I stopped taping my blades all together years ago, might have to try the butt ends out tho since it's reusable.
Just discovered your channel and really dig it. Best of luck in your journey!

[HotBranch]

Good info. Looking forward to hearing where you'll be playing next season.

[icegoalie]

I actual tried the bobrovsky one a few months ago for the first time and it feels so good

[swedreamhack]

Great vid and info! Buttendz looks like it has som solid value to it.

GET THIS MAN TO 100K please he is the best goalie YouTuber get him to 100k

Honestly, I'm not the biggest Trav fan out there. I won't go into a lot of depth but I don't appreciate his click-bait videos and his unfunny humor to name a couple. But this guy nailed the video right on. The "stick always on-the-ice" thing is completely outdated, rounded toes are better than square, and the different grips. Not to mention the high-quality clips he puts in. You are starting to win me over a little bit, Trav.

I picked up a couple Max Legace pro return sticks recently and they both have a trigger grip standard. One is skinned as a True Catalyst and the other is skinned as a CCM Premier something or other so some other companies are starting to provide it stockish.

[Matfast]

Love my buttendz grip no doubt about it. I'd say retail stick work just fine for me but I'd be tempted to try different paddle sizes, see if a shorter stick would work. As always thanks for the upload buddy !

[lukeok]

Thanks for letting us know your tricks

[daledemanchuk]

good info once again guy! my warrior ritual @ 23.5 intermediate fits me perfectly one 'hack' i use is using an automotive ceramic spray on exposed blade areas/shaft....snow wont stick at all and nice and slick for those surprise pokers!

[PeteNice]

Use a Dremel with a cutting wheel. So much faster than a jigsaw, and arguably easier to control. BTW -- This is a legit mod. Finally did it a couple weeks ago, and it's well worth it.

[djatkins]

finally got a new to me goalie stick... and a nice set of supreme gear... next is to get a good cheaper helmet then I can get back into the street hockey (i'm too big and old for ice lol)
