I wish I LEARNED the RVH sooner! | Dahan Goaltending 

What is the biggest weakness in your game and what are you doing to work on it?

As a poor beer leaguer. I appreciate these free videos. We all definitely owe ya one

I found Dahan's videos yesterday - this guy would kill me on the ice I swear. Great work keeping up with him!

We miss you!

We finally have some ice time opening up next week so I have been enjoying you and Trav’s videos with the coached sessions...trying to shake off the mental rust before getting back out there. And I’m right there with you, being 31 and only attending 1 camp growing up, I feel I’m still catching up on certain techniques. Bad angle shots give me the most anxiety haha.

Dahan is an excellent coach and you did great on those wrap arounds! Keep working like that, and you will be hard to beat.

Always nice seeing these as someone that has never been able to practice outside of actual games. Thanks, Sam!

Hey man what's up just watch your video that look really tough that looks like you're learning a lot at least you're on the ice keep up the good work and have a Merry Christmas

Really good stuff here!

Good stuff!

Great video Sam! The RVH will grow on you. I have a very hard time using VH. It is just not a comfortable position for me, so I understand where your coming from. Dahan seems like a great guy! I love the way he coaches. Keep working hard buddy!

Great Vids - i Like it !

yeah, i remember learning the RVH. Makes a big difference if you are big enough. I don't do it much because I'm 5ft 7in and it leaves so much open up top.

Great video! There’s a TON of great tips there. I grew up playing stand up and just started dropping to butterfly. My biggest problem is I can’t do butterfly pushes once I’m down.

Hope all is well

Conditioning is free and will make every goalie better. When you’re tired or in pain maybe, everything is 100x harder. You can look super skilled in the first and by the the third look like a first timer.

Great vid! Subscribed. Ball hockey goalie who transferred to ice recently. My skating and overall getting around the crease are my weak points in my game. Would love to know if you have a recommendation in the GTA for a goalie coach!

Tip: keep your head up when you do your c cuts and any other movement warmup

Goat

I scramble a lot on my butterfly pushes which leads to a weak push. If I’m not feeling the pressure, I have more time to load the pushing leg up which gets me across the goal faster than if I’m in scramble mode. So, the problem isn’t my strength, it’s in my head. Gotta stay cool under pressure.

Have a question that is off topic but after a pick up game stick time who usually moves the nets for the zamboni?

gotta make surer when you're pushing that you don't bounce up and down and you really lean your head into the push

Dude great vid. Growing up a stand up goalie, I have had to try and retool my game to the butterfly style. So I totally feel you. I was never taught any butterfly techinque, so every time im on the ice I try and learn somthing new.

All these videos are awesome. Except for the fact that I started playing goalie as an old 48 yrs old beer league/rec level , with bad knees and back, so I wouldn't have to work so hard anymore to have a little fun. 😂

Honestly you have the correct idea on when to use the RVH. The reason you stated to coach is why NHL goalies dont default to it when pucks are below the goal line anymore. As you said there is a chance to score in the short side shelf if the shooter is real good. NHL goal coaches and goalies have gotten away from default RVH

I hated my ccm eflex 3.9s.they slide horrible. Tried to figure what I can do . I used candle wax on the whole inside of the pad ,lightly rubbed it on. Now the ccms slide like butter. Dont care for the speed skin. Try the candle wax fix.

This rinks sick.

Hey Sam I love your videos

I love/hate the RVH. I gave up a wraparound goal last week because I went skate to post and he pushed it in. I probably rely on it too much because I'm short and my D isn't the best.

hey are you going to upload more started watching your content and love it pls answer

Ok, I think I'm starting to understand this rvh stuff. You basically have more rebound control. What about how you adjust your laces on your pads that go to your skates. I have 3 knots on mine. Will this make your rvh impossible?

I am close to 60, beer league goalie. I have never played organized hockey, so never learned these techniques. I am what you would call a old school, stand up style. I am pretty decent considering this, being rating near the top in my 2 old timers league with guys 35 and up. Since don't have practice time, how can I use some of these techniques, any suggestions to I prove my game would be great

When your sealing the post at corner boards wouldn’t u want to vh or stay standing because it’s harder to push to ur feet from the post than from already standing up

I remember goalie camps being taught skate saves.... God bless the 2 pad stack!

What pads are those

can you do a video on how to break in a glove

FLY BUTTERFLY FLY..... BUTTERFLIES DONT 2 PAD STACK!! SLIDE FLY FLY SLIDE!

Also, I know that rink, it's in Brampton isn't it?

What accessory do you have for the glass cam? Also are you ever worried about the camera lens breaking?

Ive personally havent used the vh beacause i feel off balence and i open up holes like that, i have tried it, it just never worked out for me

My weakness is when im down in BF and need to move over the hole crease i tend not to do a slide. Instead i do Tv saves(dives) and its not energy efficient. I know i have time but my old habits from the 90’s is just second nature to me:(

where is the dahan goaltending located

The slide on those pads are holding you back

Wow you guys were literally right next to my house

I miss the beer league. I was looking forward to another season.

Can I get a copy of Sunday’s game ?

My parents don’t believe in me for being a goalie but I love the game and goalie do you have any tips

I agree that the rvh is an important technique but I also find that it is used too often and at the wrong time.

Tip: 4:12 don’t challenge the shooter that far when the shooter is behind you because it will be harder to get over

This rink reminds me of 5/3

Are you still doing your camps I'd love to go to one. Please respond. Thank you

Sam buddy, there's no way you haven't learned the RVH by now. It's an anchor of my game!

Hey man where have you been? Hope you’re Ok

What is RVH or VH? I’m an old school goalie…please pardon the lame question lol.

I stay standing against the post. No room from side anywhereeeeeee. Goalies make thereselces small and get snipped on

I have not bin on the ice for 3 months

That's exactly what I see in his last video he's weak in butteefly slide and not enough square in his knee

you ever gonna post again lol

Sam, where are you?

Where are you bro

You’re dragging your push leg behind and not sealing with it at all

Sry, but where new videos?

I learned this technique by just watching goalies do it... it kills your knees and ankles at first... once your body gets used to it, you will be doing without hesitation... can I say 1 thing I notice? I had the same ccms as well... loved em... but were bulky and heavy. Playing the new style relying more on your leg muscles lugging those big pillows around and they don’t slide... trust me. They don’t slide and aren’t meant for that type of play style unless you have those leg muscles... look into newer pads.... lighter really is faster. Why? Cuz your lighter and 2 the new technology on these pads really do make a difference. I went to optik pads and they are lighter don’t have the heavy leather straps. Just trying to be helpful cuz I went through the same thing... and I’m a beer leaguer as well so I’m not a young kid. But STRETCH those lower legs and hips and groin... A LOT! hope it helps and doesn’t come off as rude

*Except now you have to teach goalies not to abuse RVH. Because shooters are learning how to burn goalies from sharp angle shots to the top corner.*

really work on your conditioning, your a young man but you are working like me, 55 years. No disrespect, just some amateur scouting.
