Studying Foot Position in the RVH. In this video, Minnesota Wild Goalie Filip Gustavsson is demonstrating what proper foot placement in the RVH position actually looks like. The RVH position is an extremely effective position, when used correctly. One of the big problems that goalies find themselves in when using the RVH (reverse vertical horizontal) position is that they cannot quickly recover out of it, or transition from post to post. This is what makes foot position on the post so important. It’s critical that goalies use the gap between the toe of their skate and the toe of their goalie pad to “lock” themselves on the post. A proper toe lock on the post maximizes pad coverage in front of the net, reduces the chance of a puck sneaking into their net at this vulnerable position on the post, and increases the goalies ability to push out of the RVH position. Filip Gustavsson demonstrates a textbook example of how to properly execute the RVH with proper foot positioning on the post.
