Hey Kaz, I’m just starting out as a goalie coach where I’ve been training my whole life… thanks for the extra drill help! Your videos are like a gold mine for me
Trav is a firestarter and has constantly brought up Kaz in several of his podcast clips. I used to be a fan of Trav, but the guy just seems to keep ragging on kas for no good reason. To each their own however.
@@EndoranceM - Trav can’t even keep a job in the FPHL or Spain. Those leagues are below NCAA D3 and Canadian Jr. A / NAHL level. Kaz is a legitimate AHL/SHL level goalie.
Trav said that because he lost jobs in the fed because he broke the teams simple rules to not include certain topics in his videos and talked shit about them. Completely different
I love following you along your professional journey. As long as there’s no drama or private player footage I don’t see why any team wouldn’t be able to approve every video. I couldn’t say the same for Travis…. keep up the videos, some of us never had the skills while some of us might’ve had the skills to play at some professional level, but never had the opportunity, time and place to achieve it so we live vicariously through your journey and videos. 👏🏻
"Maybe you should focus on your career instead of TH-cam." coming from people who have probably never even played a game in the show. Keep doing what you do, man. We love the content, and haters are always gonna hate.
As someone who transitioned to TH-cam from a traditional career (nothing as awesome as pro athlete though 😁), it’s definitely an asset to have something like this that’s 100% you investing in yourself. And especially in almost 2025, having a media-savvy player with a positive image and following should be looked at as a huge bonus. Your channel is literally larger than some official NHL team channels! I just really admire your approach to everything and hope there’s an awesome organization out there that appreciates it properly.
Always appreciate how honest and raw you are Kas. As a lifelong fan of the game, the behind the scenes stuff is what initially got me following you during the bubble. But, whats kept me tuning in week after week, has been the humble regular dude. Got my fingers crossed the right opportunity comes knocking for ya soon man!
Miss you in the SHL. The TH-cam thing you were doing was unique and something that added an extra level to me as a fan. Still coming back here now and then. You are such a nice guy with a great mindset. And also blessed with many skills outside of the rink. Man, this TH-cam Channel is a great documented CV. In a very positive way. People that tell you not to do TH-cam are either jealous or don't know what they are talking about.
Was actually wondering if TH-cam affected you at the ahl level.. i got cut from the Sphl because my coach “didn’t want that” and to “focus on winning hockey games”
@@BigCat5 so your coach in 4th tier of north american pro hockey didn’t let players have hobbies?😂 probably didn’t want players to have kids and families either cause well that just takes way too much time and energy
Kas, big Montreal/Laval fan, so started watching your videos once you signed with Laval. I've been hooked on your videos since. Great videos and always enjoy watching them
I remember I messaged you on twitters I believe, when you first signed with the leafs. Great to see your still on the grind, keep up the good work know you will find a team soon enough.
Really appreciating your content, Kaz. Wish I had a goalie like you to look to when I was a kid trying to get better at goaltending (I’m the same age as you 😂). Regardless, now I’m just a beer leaguer that is living vicariously through your adventures. Looking forward to seeing wherever you end up this season and wish you the best brother.
Nice job, keep up the great work. I started playing hockey 2.5 years ago at the age of 46. Thinking about getting goalie gear as next step! I’ll be watching here.
10:08 its before you enter pro That IT can hurt you because the teams will think that you don't really want to spend your free time training and they also think that you want to ne there just for the cloute. But after you enter pro its not a probleme anymore because you already have a contract.(Also he has a youtube hockey channel so that helps Jim too)
your youtube content is a blessing. i would've loved this inside look at my favorite goalies when i was a kid. also introduced me to sense arena which had a massive help in my game for release reading...started out averaging 4/10 shots in the slot vs NHL shooters to 8/10 or so 2 months in. do you do any sorta drills or off-ice training for foot speed? adjusting workout routines and fatigue for the hockey season? that would be an interesting video. keep it up.
Kas, the difference between you and the other teams or amazon making videos is... They have people to edit those videos, to respond to the comments. That stuff takes time and regardless of what you say and certain % of youre attention from whats important. Not saying you arent amazing. But some GMs and teams do shy away from this type if thing. Most successful athletes who run a podcast or a channel were already signed to a good contract before they started doing them. And if you look at some who worried about making videos ended up you would see focusing on just getting a contract youde have already had one. Stay strong and take a few month break from videos snd social media to focus on yourself. I promise we will all be here still. ❤️
as somebody that works in the space and has for a while, he laughed so hard when you showed that comment of people telling you to concentrate on hockey more. I can absolutely tell how much time you put into this and you do a really good job, but this isn’t your full-time job and you can tell that that’s not a bad thing it’s like you’re just documenting what you’re doing you’re not like making crazy long videos or anything. As somebody that really enjoys your content sometimes I wish you would make longer videos, but I don’t think that’s necessary so anyways just keep up the great work. and you know that’s great you’re getting into coaching. I mean, I think as somebody is an ex goalie I would say that that’s a great way to go cause you have a lot to give and itkeeps you close to the game. Continued success.
fuck the haters. i've been following since your days with the leafs and i can't even remember any of your teammates you filmed because you only really film yourself. no one should have a problem with it
Could you speak into how often you sharpen your skates, the hollow you go with. Also, do you own a Sparx? I recently got the Bauer Konect V1. Are you using the stock steel or did you upgrade. Thank you very much for the content. Enjoy it.
Hey kasimir your content is great. I am 44 im year old goalie from switzerland. I have a question: is europe not an option to get a team? Sweden, finnland , the extraliga in the czech republic, national league in switzerland, del in germany. I would like to know why you stay in nordamerica. I think you would get a contract asap overseas.
@@xmohawkx985 He doesn't mention Trav, but Kaz lives rent free on Trav's podcast, just recently he put out a few videos and shorts about Kaz and how he brings a lot of baggage with his youtube channel and that's why he hasn't been getting offers
Luv ur videos from Korea.Could you be more specified with off ice train sets? Its always hard to make routines with office work out as a amature goalie in asia
With a guy like Aaron Dell down in the coast seems AHL are moving away from older goaltenders, which unfortunately is more due to age than level of play. Is that something you’d consider?
My kid would flip for some goalie training with you like that! You taking reservations!? I’d support, you seem to be at many of the same rinks we are…so it must be close by!
Things with pro teams though is that they want to be the ones in control. So yes they have their own BTS footage but it's all guidelined so their media team doesnt show what the team doesnt want people to see. Being on your own they can give guidelines but do they trust you'll follow them. Good example is of a kicker vlogging his tryout experience with the Washington Commanders, his video wasnt anything wild but the teams are so archaic in their ways that they just stick to it. Like you could see in the Amazon doc that team staff were trying to fudge up shots (ala the Oilers EQ guy closing curtains and trying to back the cameras off. All or Nothing barely gave us anything except some leafs being hipster coffee people and like 2 trades. The rest was sunshine and rainbows. NHL werent fans of Rangers Flyers 24/7 because of how raw it was but us fans want that shit because its not curated. No pro player is gonna win when it comes to wanting to do content on team premises if its not by their own curated people sadly.
Well, as he said, when he was with Toronto they approved all the videos so they were still the ones in control.

Hey Kaz, I got nhl sense arena and tried to use your code but it wouldn’t let me combine it with the Black Friday sale. Is there any way you can reach out to them and let them know I used it so it helps you out?
Come back to Montreal dude! We need a good starting goalie, and well a good backup too really as both our current ones suck and wouldn't be on the roster of 95% of the teams in the NHL
I completely agree with you that your YT work shouldn’t affect your opportunities. But I think it’s a little naive to not think that there might be some organizations that don’t like it and wouldn’t want it. I think that would be backwards thinking, but there is still a lot of that old boys club mentality in pro hockey.
I’m not a Pittsburgh fan except for Sid, but man that organization is hurting for good Goaltending. Not saying the guys they have aren’t good. But maybe adding you would help that organization. Even if it’s the AHL
Keep this going, it helps me help my son while he’s in the net. His biggest problem he keeps living inside his own head. Yes we’ve gone through tragedy in our lives in the last 5.5 yrs but I gotta find a way to teach him to keep his distractions out of his head. So if you got any ideas please let me know Kaz
Are you in need of a goalie coach for yourself for the time being? I am based out of Hudson WI. 45 minutes from Minneapolis. I am good friends with John Schiavo. He can tell you all about me.
I also can't see any team to have a problem with you doing yt. Of course if it started to hurt your working, that would be another case. But filming some stuff here and there for a week doesn't take that much time AND can be also used on team marketing. The editing is usually the part that is the most time consuming, but I guess you kind of do the rough cutting board work mentally during the week?
The problem is all the stupid coaches who can't see greatness in you, maybe if an offer from Sweden comes up you might want to take it, and it pays good too in Sweden.
Its most definitely a problem and a distraction, its why you arent being signed to a deal. You could also go make good money in the Finnish or Swede league but your ego is too big. its quite unfortunate cause youre a decent minor league or european goalie. maybe youl change your mind when youre a free agent for 5+ years.

Travis can’t even get a job on a bottom tier team in Spain as a backup. Kaz is a real AHL/Major European level pro.

I also can't see any team to have a problem with you doing yt. Of course if it started to hurt your working, that would be another case. But filming some stuff here and there for a week doesn't take that much time AND can be also used on team marketing. The editing is usually the part that is the most time consuming, but I guess you kind of do the rough cutting board work mentally during the week?
Brendan Perlini he films a TH-cam channel
Hey first. I'm glad you make TH-cam videos
Ask Boston for another contract
Schiavo is nasty
The problem is all the stupid coaches who can't see greatness in you, maybe if an offer from Sweden comes up you might want to take it, and it pays good too in Sweden.
Why does your wife hate trav so much, she’s too mean
Because Trav is a fraud
bro trav is a douch, i dont blame em

Its most definitely a problem and a distraction, its why you arent being signed to a deal.

its quite unfortunate cause youre a decent minor league or european goalie.
maybe youl change your mind when youre a free agent for 5+ years.
