How a Pro Goalie Tapes His Stick 

This is how I tape my stick. I've been obsessed over the last few years about finding the best ways to improve my puck handle and puck control. This is what I came to.

"Professional" 😂 .... That being said, Hope you do well in Sweden, Trav.

Next video: “How a pro eats his cereal”?

I'm always changing the way I'm taping my stick to find out what the best is for puck handling and deflections. I'm really interested to see your opinion in this and who knows maybe it'll work for me😂😂

Loving the flow, true hockey player.

My man you milking the pro hockey thing😂

Been watching you for years trav and literally proud of how far you came keep chasing that dream boi

Here's how a PRO...... barely an amature... rookie

Another great video Trav. Nicely done. Thanks for the tips.

Very different, I played inline hockey so dealt with a ball vs a puck. Thank you for the vid! Lots of insight!

How a professional youtuber tapes his stick

I wish the Blok existed when I played, can’t tell you how many smashed fingers I had!!!! Keep working hard my friend!!! Excited to see what’s coming down the road for you!

It gets so much better each year

I always am watching videos like this, like taping my stick will help my glove

I love these premiers!!!! Thanks for making this I can’t tape good. Good luck this season in Sweden!! What’s is your favorite Non Canadian NHL team?

Hope you succeed in Sweden. I remember watching your Lundar videos everyday and it’s cool to see your journey so far

I saw your first vid and that’s where I got the grip tape idea and it worked great and recently I started taping half blade and I was thinking about getting a buttend. I have respect for you that you use lefevre and that you are full right just like me

Good luck in Sweden Trav!!!

This was very helpful to me. On how you taped your stick. I noticed a night and day difference. The only thing I just didn't do was wax my stick just because I play roller hockey and I didn't want the wax on my wheels

Great video trav love these!!!

What tech does a professional hockey goalie use to make RU-vid videos! Cameras, lenses, SD cards, editing software, tech on your wish list lets go!

Love to see “professional” in the title. All that hard work is finally starting to pay off. Best of luck my man🙏

Thx

Solid tape job. Where was the food review😂. Gotta love those quest cookies

Trav making every RU-vid video title from now on: “how a professional goalie ____”

I loves your videos I cant wait

Awesome Travis 👊🏽💪🏽😊

Hey man I just watched your video great video as always I just wanted to let you know I started using buttons and I think that made a big Improvement in my game

just ordered my first buttendz grips and cant wait to try them

I’m gonna binge watch ur videos tonight

Toe to heel. The intelligence comes from the honey mustard. I thought I was the only one😂

Can’t wait!!!

For a second I thought the thumbnail was Braden holtby lol

nice tape cool color

More stick wax on the tape on the inside curve of the stick will help you get better grip on the puck when shooting. When snow and ice build up on the tape, the puck won't grip as well.

So I am watching this video and hey, what the heck, there's my stick, well not mine yet even though I already released the funds thru sideline swap, but there is my stick the trusty old one100 getting retaped and a new buttend grip put on it, but wait there's more, I've been awaiting this stick to arrive for more then 2 weeks when, just after the video ends I hear the mailman and yup you guessed it the stock has arrived, now Trav I understand Canadians are trusting souls and all but that packaging was hilarious, did you use all your trash bags? LOL. Thanks for all you do Trav, your videos are a bright spot in this world these days. Enjoy your Swedish travels....and just like you wrapped the stick you sent me, wrap your rascle.

i have been trying to eat better by having health smoothies every morning and have a good lunch everyday should i be doing any more

Toe to heel vibes only!!

“If I could make this a better world I would bring world peace to Africa.”

i taped my stick when i got it my 2nd year of bantam and now I'm in beer league 5 years later with the same tape job.

Trav i always watch your videos, hope you make it on to a NHL team one day

You handle that knob like a true pro.

What happened to the buttendz Lyon paddle grip?

toe to heel for life

Trav I'm proud you a pro now

those knobs always look good .. my problem right now is i just cut myself shaving and need to tape my face. btw i played last night! first time since February... it was rough ... very rough

Well this will be a good video

Can we get a video on what steel you use on your skates

Trav if you weren’t able to play goalie what position would you play?

What you spray in your butenz grip?

You don't tape the area where you hold your stick? I use an Ultrasonic and it has some textured grip so I don't really see a need. I also like to be able to throw a fast poke check and I found that the tape by the shaft hinders that. However, I see a lot of high level goalies taping that area where the shaft and the paddle meet. Any thoughts?

Hey good luck in Sweden, and by the way did u see the new Batman trailer . It looks awesome and the trailer song is nirvana’s Something in the way

U should do a day in the life of a pro goalie

That @buttendz went on so easily. When I installed mine on a True AX9 I had a hell of a time. Maybe the rolling to spread the lube is the trick. I have more Sentry models to install so I will try your trick. Thanks.

Trav, completely unrelated, but, just suggesting a video; how about an update on your Lefevre goalie gear? Their gear looks awesome and their history of manufactoring gear could at times be less known. Personally, I wore Brian Heaton gear back in the early 2000's. He made the switch to Louisville TPS and it was a huge success back in the day with the Exhale model. All the best with your Europe journey and feel free to ask Steve the goalie coach where the video is of him being called Mc Kitchen vs. his proper pronunciation. Lol.

I still tape my stick the same way you used to with grip tape

He keeps milking this Sweden thing 😂

“Professional’s” get PAID for their services, Trav...

Use a quarter to push the edges of the tape down!!

How the hell does someone dislike when the video hasn’t even been released yet? Lmfao

Do a day in the life

Keep working and u Will succed

Sup trav sry imma bit late love ur vids

Finishes the tape job at the bottom of the blade....and that's a 1 ice time take job cause that bitch is coming off haha love the vids trav, keep the motor going

Some good tips bud but dude.. About the 6:00 mark with that buttendz grip you look too familiar with that motion 😂 Got any tips for pregame prep? Especially getting in that mental zone.. I always played better when the game was meaningful with some feistiness but now playing 'fun hockey' I sometimes have issues getting in that mental zone, and don't wanna play like I used too (Hextall style 😂) cause I'll piss people off and don't wanna lose ice times.. Sometimes it's like a player who doesn't get in the game until the first big hit but for me as a goalie I got nobody to hit 😂

Trav you need to get a tape tiger

I thought we would be very similar because of the oatmeal raisin cookies and because I also tape my stick like that but man, toe to heel... :/ 😂

Switch to taping every skate for Sweden

HOW MUCH GRIPS DO YOU HAVE?!?

All the videos in the next month will start with: Professional Goalie......

Oh my bad ok let’s get trav to 100 k

I tape my stick the same way as the thumbnail

Hey Trav, you hosed me on the new stick. I had to go out and buy my son a new Bauer stick. I actually spent $230 so I'm thinking you owe me a block knuckle guard and we can call it even. Thanks.....just kidding!

Didn’t you already do this video a while ago

You know when he is truly concentrating on what he is doing when ya got the tongue poking out.

I don't wax my sticks at all. I tried once and I did not see any difference from unwaxed to waxed

I can’t tape it like that, my stick is falling apart 🤣 I’m not a fan of wax but I find what Rob Lalonde does with the removed tape pretty good, although I guess that can’t last six months.

Dang!!! Travs got $90 in accessories on his sticks!!! Baller sans budget!

Hi trav

Did he say.......... si...... si....... SIX..... MONTHS?!?!?!?!? Surely that’ll change w all them saves made over in Sweden lol

Im a player and I basically tape my stick the exact same way

Epic concentration tongue for insertion at 5:47

Not sketchy at all (the gym bag)

Clickbait, I thought you said a pro goalie LOL J/K

Wow I remember watching your old stick taping vid when you were a junior player. Now I’m watching a pro player tape his stick!!!!

are you my dad that’s literally the same way i tape the blade

My wife looks at me like I'm crazy because when I apply the sex wax I sniff before, during, and after the application.

Great vid as always, lot of shit heads in the comment section, but just keep up your grind.

When your taping your knob y don’t u just use the player grip and leave an inch or so and just tape a knob on the top. (Probably saves money too)

Trav what is up

What does your contract say??? How much are you getting paid???

Do you think that Lefevre will come out with a stick?

Toe-to-heel gang checking in! Like this comment to show it's the proper way to go!

Buttendz is overpriced for being $30. Just switched back to a composite stick(Warrior Ritual CR3 26" Quick pattern), as I had been using wood sticks(Brian's, Warrior) before that. Had a $8 Tacki-Mac(discontinued) that I put on my Warrior for the butt end. Slipped it on easy using hair spray. Just a tip that I find useful, I put 2 strips of hockey tape on the under-side of the stick blade(1" away from the blade toe to 1" past the blade heel, rough estimate). I then do 2 rounds of hockey tape(starting close to the toe to slightly over the heel). Last I use some Pro Guard Stick Butter(stick wax) and rub it along on the under-side of stick blade. I then thumb it down to create a nice coat. Why? Water build-up and friction are a big contributor to wearing down your under-side of your stick blade. I'm a longtime Beer Leaguer, on a tight goalie equipment budget and I like to get the most out of my equipment. If you don't mind the extra weight on your stick(I like it because it gives me more balance in how I position my stick and I emphasize not giving a easy shooting option with the five-hole), then the 2 forms of layers(2 strips of hockey tape and stick wax) prolong my stick blade to last a lot longer and for me to not have to re-tape my stick that often.

Wish I had this tutorial when I was younger and playing still. I used to tape a big butt end that was always a guess for how it would feel. Promo code #smartcameraguy

Ok I’ll buy the Blok. I’m not a goalie I just don’t want to make a mistake.

Let's have a new pro tips for chirping.

Again bro???
