Learn how to properly seal the net when going into the Reverse Vertical-Horizontal (RVH). This technique is effective in two ways when done correctly.
- First, it completely fills the short side of the net when the player is located below the face-off circle without compromising the chest. Its predecessor (VH) has the pads in a manner where the inner leg located on the post is vertical and therefore covers the chest, which can result in undesirable rebounds.
- Secondly, it helps the athlete regain net awareness when scrambling with wide rebounds. The athlete can slide into the RVH and anchor themselves on the post before getting back onto their feet depending on the play.
We believe competition drives enthusiasm. Our "goalie face-off" is a simple but effective game that enables patience with soft focus. The goalie must actively seek the coach's hand and react when the puck drops without doing so too early or too late.
