I've always found it infuriating how few YT instructors seem to be able to convey the super simple physics associated with hockey stops. Not the case here - your explanations are clear and efficient. And you're also one of the few people who mention the "eureka" element, at least to me - not digging in your heels or the mid section of the skate, but instead pushing the toes in. Simple move, makes a world of difference and is so often overlooked, with instructors instead going on and on about how you need to "lean into it", etc. Good vid, thanks!
Hope thats its going to go better tomorrow with ure tips, I tried it today without a tutorial and fell on my hip atleast 10 times now I cant sleep on that side anymore xD
One of the best vid tutorials I’ve seen for the hockey stop! Covers all the typical errors and really makes it clear how to do it properly. Nicely done !
The weight on the toes tip is the first I have ever heard of that and now it all makes so much sense why I can’t hockey stop, because I put all my weight on my heels. I have watched and tried so many tutorials and nothing has worked until this.
So far this is one of the best of the videos I’ve seen about hockey stops. Thank you so much! Even coaches don’t mention this tips at all, especially with the location that you put pressure on the blade
This actually made so much sense and helped me relearn stopping and tight turns after 10 years off the ice! Just waiting for the Boston Gardens to freeze and get some time on the ice in! Thank you!
As a new skater I've been finding the hockey stop very hard to learn. But this video makes it all make sense because it shows my problems with the stop (getting stuck in the ice and vibrating blades) being caused by my biggest problem in learning hockey: not bending my knees enough! This gives me the confidence that improving this one thing will help everything in my game. Thanks
I've been skating for a couple months and I usually find I can do it some days but others I just seem to tight turn so thank you! I'll be on the rink in a couple hours to try putting more weight on my toes. :) Great video!
Thank you for helping me stop The only thing I was doing wrong was that I wasn't shaving the the ice with my toes I was just shaving the ice with my whole skate thank you very much
Most useful video I have seen yet regarding hockey stopping. No other videos I have seen mentioned put your weight on the balls of your feet. Tanks, look forward to trying this one out.
very good lessons here....I am a beginning skater and haven't skated for years; hopefully i can get back 'in the swing" of things with your Lessons....Thanks a bunch maan !!!
I've watched dozens of videos that combined show what this video does. But this video is my favorite of all, it has everything in one! The physics, the blade placement, the only thing he doesn't talk about is when to put your weight on your outside leg and when to have the weight on your inside leg, which i learned from a guy at the rink. As a beginning skater trying to learn this, (which i still haven't done an actual hockey stop) I'm starting to get comfortable sliding on both skates.
Wow. I cannot really do double-legged hockey stops, so your explanation is highly valuable to me. You seem to hit the nail on the head for someone who does not get it. The problem is how to move sideways on the balls of your feet with sharp grooved blades? I need them sharp for control. I have watched many skaters do this hockey stop with sharp blades with deep grooves. It is amazing! :) Will keep trying... Thanks for another insightful post!
Thank you for the kind words. It's more difficult with sharp blades, yes. If you can do it with dull but not sharp blades, I think you may stand too tall (?)
Does anyone else here try to "find" that sweet spot on their front foot before committing to a full on hockey stop- like, to everyone around you, it probably sounds as though your going to stop 30 feet (like 9 meters or so) before you are set up for a controlled and proper stop. Is this normal before getting comfortable with stopping with both skates? Chris - Atlanta.
I been watching videos to learn this before I attempt it again after 18 years of not ice skating. The way you had the dice showing at the end where the blade should touch completely just made it all click in my head and I was able to stop again lol. Some people just learn differently I guess lmao
Thank you for the very informative video. I watched more than a few and this one helped me the MOST, especially the part where you explained the rocker of the blade. I grew up playing roller hockey & skiing so this was exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
not sure I agree with this. For hockey stops your weight should be on the leg directly under you and not on your extended leg. In the video he is stopping on the inside of his right blade edge when it should be the outside of his left blade edge. Same for the tight turns, weight on the leg directly under you. Why? The leg under you can perform a tighter turn than your outside leg, allowing you to pivot tighter and change direction quicker. Also if you weight your outside foot and that slips or gets caught your other leg will be in line with or now behind your shoulder making any control harder due to momentum pushing your weight forward. Where as if your leg under you slips or gets caught your momentum will instantly transfer to your outer foot, making it easier to save yourself.
Thank you sm this was really helpful, I have watched a lot of videos on how to hockey stop but this is def the best one. The beginner problems you stated were exactly what I was having trouble with. Thx sm
Thanks for the advice,I used to roller skate about 15 yrs ago and now trying to get on the ice for my daughter,you can tell I used to skate but forgot more than I can remember 😂😂
Interesting, especially first one. Cause for parallel slide (hockey stop) on inline skates the active push of heels is the obligatory requirement. Otherwise you will not have a slide at all.
Nik Zvi Inline I have inline skates now (haven't tried them on ice) but I used to tried to do hockey stop with rental skates and it never work. I asked many skaters on how to do the hockey stop and some of them said I just have turned my legs 45° and I will able to do but there are some says that I have to make tiny hop when I'm about to stop. And now this video tells me that I just have to use the front of my blades to stop without making a tiny hop but turning my legs 45°
Thank you for explaining this! I started ice skating after having rollerbladed for many years, and can never get the hockey stop correctly. I'm pretty sure now it's because I'm using the whole blade instead of balancing on the front.
As someone who has never played hockey, but really enjoys skating, this video is EXTREAMLEY helpful! I am a chronic skate vibrator, and I never knew how to correct it. I can't wait to try again, now that I actually know what the heck is going on!
W VID BRU THANKS TO U I CAN FINALLY HOCKEY STOP IVE BEEN TRAINING FOR WEEKS BUT I KEPT FALLING BUT THANKS TO U I CAN DO IT NOW AND ITS SO FUN W VID BRU
Vibrating skate problem here too... can't wait to try to focus on leaning on the front more, although I dont think my skates were sharpened right either...
A big one :) On the lake the ice is not even and there are a lot of natural crack and soft spots. Maybe even some plants? On the rink the ice is maintained flat and repaired regularly (maybe every 2 hours).
I tend to believe that a good teacher (or a good learning source) is much more important than the ice hardness. After that *probably* the softer ice is better since the speed is lowered.
Hope this helps I will try it when I’m back on the ice in 2 days , I’ve only been skating few months but only go once a week , I’ve been trying to practice my stops but just seem to dig in and I hit the board’s with my toes I will try to put my weight on my toes on Sunday hopefully it works as I’ve had a few nasty falls haha wouldn’t think my mum of 81 used to be a figure skater/ice dancer and free style skater haha I just love ice hockey so only decided to try and learn at 44 as my son wants to be an ice hockey player so I went with him and love it just want to get better at it now haha 👍🏼 thanks for the video hope it helps …
I am playing hockey for 14 years rigth now and i have still problems with the "virbrating" skates sometimes. So for every beginner dont lose motivation if something doesnt work after a short while. ;)
Damn, wish I had watched this when I tried to play 300 years ago. The only advice they gave then was "well, keep trying". I did, and was doing wrong every time. Okay, I may only be as half as bright as a hockey puck, but at least now I'll be able to stop without being embarrassed.
The 1st case is probably the answer to my questions. Only do a tight turn instead hockey stop. On weekend I will try to change my weight to the front (toe balls ) to start the drift...
Thanks! I can never do a hockey stop. I will try to use what you showed here. I think my problem is that is expose too much blade rather than just my toe. So I'm always just stuck... no semblance of skidding whatsoever. But finally someone put it in terms of physics I can understand -- I need to have less edge exposed to the ice and only toward the toe end. Great video! Very interesting. Do you have a step-by-step on how to do one for a complete beginner to hockey stops?
Happens to me too, sometimes it accidentally worked - and guess what, it was only the toe that had contact. The "off-ice" moment watching this video is where it sinks in. Now let's see if I don't fall back in my old habits again when on-ice.
not sure I agree with this. For hockey stops your weight should be on the leg directly under you and not on your extended leg. In the video he is stopping on the inside of his right blade edge when it should be the outside of his left blade edge. Same for the tight turns, weight on the leg directly under you. Why?

Where as if your leg under you slips or gets caught your momentum will instantly transfer to your outer foot, making it easier to save yourself.
I find that using the full flat part of the blade decreases the stopping distance. However, the blade does not dig into the ice as much as using the near-tip of the blade. Anyhow, the physics make sense. My technique is to use the flat part of the blade + leaning backward. The learning motion adjusts the blades' angle.
Interesting. Maybe they can film it and see? Or at least study the ice marks? Before I made videos and had to force myself to analyze it, I wasn't really conscious about what I did. Just did it from muscle memory kinda.. But from tutorials I read/watched, they mentioned "knees above ball of feet" which indicate the weight should be somewhat over the front of the blades. When I do stop on front blade, it's smooth and stable. If I shift a bit back, so more of the blade touches, it tends to cause vibrations (seen on the ice as "fishbones"). Now, of course, if You can use the entire blade and NOT get those vibrations, then that IS probably the most effective stop for You.
This is a basic skating skill but I can't seem to master it although I'm a good skater. It is the first video (out of so many garbage videos explaining how to do hockey stop) that enlightens me why I can't do it.
Is a either side favor for anyone who's stop, eg. I'm learning to stop up but I've just to doing it for head forward to the right side, where's my right foot.
Does anyone know what would happen if your skates are too steep down and catch grip while doing a hockey stop or other way around? ( skate catching grip from being too far out, like mentioned in this video “stuck on ice”. Would it break my leg? I’ve been fearing this every time I try to hockey stop
No you're legs should be as far apart as possible to bring your centre of gravity forward and bend low, same as all skating types, otherwise you will fall hard backwards, especially if you are 6ft4 and have long legs in proportion to your body.
Never did the hockeystop on iceskates, but i am practising on inlines. I am stuck on keeping the turn going, does tip 1 (toe pressure instead of heel pressure) also apply to inlines?
Good breakdown. I too thought I'd lost my hockey stop after the summer of rollerblading. Well, I can still rollerblade in the winter here in Dubai. But we do have hockey in Dubai and the transition from inline to ice was tougher than I expected!
cool video! I started skating 3 months ago and I think hockey stop is approachable for me but tight turn.... can't do that, can't even try without falling. Help me please :)
DUDE I have a new pair of skates and I think they re too sharp so my blade get stuck a lot in the ice and it doesn't let me slide on it. What can I do? Is there anyway to unsharp them? I need help please ask me asap. BYE
I have a problem when I hockey stop where my front foot(left) will stay straight and normal but my back(right) Will always turn sideways out of habit. I cannot seem to fix this problem

Mistake: falling
"Ahhh, this video is for me"
I don’t know why I’m watching this I’ve played hockey for over 8 years
every day is a school day 👍
Because after 20 yrs playing ice hockey and its amusing to hear someone to tell you to stop on your toes
Cuz your taking a shit at work and don't enough time watch something you want
Lmao same bro
There is always a chance you might learn something new.
Hope thats its going to go better tomorrow with ure tips, I tried it today without a tutorial and fell on my hip atleast 10 times now I cant sleep on that side anymore xD
Hi. My problem is the vibrating skates. Now I understand pretty much and i' ll try to correct. Thanks !

Is there a difference between skating on a lake compared to skating in an ice rink?

It's funny. I figured this out today too. Coming from inline skates, I too use too much heel over toes.
I find that using the full flat part of the blade decreases the stopping distance. However, the blade does not dig into the ice as much as using the near-tip of the blade. Anyhow, the physics make sense.
My technique is to use the flat part of the blade + leaning backward. The learning motion adjusts the blades' angle.
Where can I find A website that sells ice skates? Thanks for taking your time to read this🤍
Thanks, so helpful! For some reason people at the ice rink keep telling me they don't stop with the front part of the blade but the entire blade...
Interesting. Maybe they can film it and see? Or at least study the ice marks? Before I made videos and had to force myself to analyze it, I wasn't really conscious about what I did.

I have a problem when I hockey stop where my front foot(left) will stay straight and normal but my back(right) Will always turn sideways out of habit. I cannot seem to fix this problem
Try picking it up and stopping with only one foot. Then, try and place your skate down as you get more used to that type of stop. Thats how I learbed
it would be cool if you could somehow mount that camera on your skate.

"There will always be cracks because of this guy." LMAO!!! So true!
