    What I got from this:
    - Stay low, knees bent
    - weight on middle to front part of skate
    - front foot stops with inside edge, back foot stops with outside edge
    Tips that I got from my brother:
    - keep your eyes angled up, that way you don’t tip forward
    - stay low (good to see it still stands)

    Best info starts at 5:00 exactly.

      Step with the inside leg, or relieve all pressure to glide the blade laterally, and reset it on the outside edge, slightly behind the outside blade. It's very similar to downhill skiing.

  • @Compos-Mentis-123
    @Compos-Mentis-123 4 місяці тому

    Touching the problems nicely. Very important: The back leg is not much more, then decoration or a crutch, that you don't fall after you finished the stop.
    After teaching numerous beginners...you only touched the surface of the problem with your solution for the "why do I skate a curve or got into a rotation move". While it is right, what you said here, the beginners have to much weight on their feet, when they turn. The turn has to be quick and with virtually no weight. You won't see this little move, if a "pro" makes a hockey stop, but as a beginner, it's helpful, to go up right before the turn (like a jump without jumping) and then down again in the turn with full weigth on the front leg.
    And two further tips: Learning a hockey stop takes time, so don't be frustrated. It's the most difficult move of the casual moves/techniques. If you want to help yourself...don't try it with (fresh) sharp blades, you won't learn it with them, if you're not a 100 kg guy.

Also when starting to learn it in the beginning don't turn both feet just the front to get a feel for that sliding motion, at least it helped me to get more comfortable before I started turning both. Now it's just all about practicing it to get comfortable with it.

    As someone learning to play hockey right now, the biggest improvement for me to be able to stop efficiently on both sides is HIP ROTATION. Until I forced myself to get over the fear and the odd feeling of turning my whole body 90 degrees, I could only do a weak hockey stop on one side. Hope this helps someone.

    I love the breakdown of this, most videos don't explain it well, they just say do this, but you don't really know technically what is happening. I'm struggling with the back leg just dragging behind, i think the biggest thing i got from this video is to lean the opposite way to get on that outer edge of the back skate, I'm likely way too straight up and down, so my skate just drags. Also I always need to do more knee bend. Tore my acl from standing too straight after stopping, that is a 12 month lesson i never want to learn again! Really awesome video, thank you so much!

    @Nichaelas 10 місяців тому

    This is a great video because it teaches you how to fix these issues without requiring you think too hard about it. Having your body in the right position eliminates the need to think "Ok I need to use the middle to front part of my blade" because as pointed out that position takes weight off your heel. Leaning back is also compartmentalized by using the logic of "After we stop that's the direction I want to be going." The only thing you have to actively think about is shifting the weight off your back leg enough for you to get it on it's outside edge. Which after enough times of it getting stuck and you fixing it that will also become muscle memory. The less things you need to focus on the less likely you are to mess one thing up being too concerned about another part. It's a great teaching method.

    This is a really good video, thank you. I taught myself how to hockey stop on my strong side several years ago (pond/street/roller hockey experience only) and now I’m getting back into hockey to play ice hockey specifically. Well after going to a few open skates to get my mojo back, it seems I’ve forgotten something about hockey stopping and embarrassed myself being one of the best skaters at the open skates, able to do all other things like cross overs, backwards, backwards crossovers, etc but not stop properly. I kept spinning or stopping too fast like my blade got stuck in a rut. Turns out, thanks to your video, I forgot to bend my knees and only use the front half of the blades. Thank you.

  • @kyleSTI
    @kyleSTI 3 роки тому +5

    I went from the plow stop, to the "turn stop", to the one foot inside edge stop. I primarily use one foot while stopping and have an issue trying to use that inside leg outside edge. and if I'm tired and lazy, that inside leg drags behind. I've found that when I want to come to a complete stop quicker, putting that inside leg outside edge down stops me but doesn't really shave the ice itself. I have yet to learn the outside edge one foot stop too. my skating abilities are not quite there yet. but I keep trying every time I'm on the ice. recently I've been practicing 3 turn (with a figure skating class to become a more capable technical skater.), then transitioning into a figure 8 style to program both side mechanics in stead of relying on strong side only. if my steel is dull enough, I'm able to slide and shave the ice on that outside edge when in the middle of transitioning from one foot to the other in my 3 turns. I have not been able to comprehend the proper mechanics behind the actual outside edge stop. to end this long message. thank you for uploading the videos you do. I've learned many things from you and others.

    • @MarcelsHockeySchool
      @MarcelsHockeySchool  3 роки тому +1

      With the hop, don’t really try to hop, just try to release a bit of weight from your skates. It’s like preparing for a hop but then not actually hopping.

    Man thank you. I've been trying to do this drill based of Marzel's punch stop turn, but I get a ton of chatter on the back foot. You da man, I'm gonna rep this at my local rink session.

    Marcel. Very good explanation of the hockey stop. I have two tips you might find helpful. I train kids to stop by first getting them to do the pregame crease scrape that goalies do. Like you, I emphasize the need to be in a bit of a crouch and to scrape with the front half of the blade. If after several attempts and they are still getting a lot of chatter, their skates may be too sharp for their weight and strength so I might have them dull their blades a bit on the base of the door to the bench. I find that once they are able to do the goalie scrape they gain a little confidence. Then I have them try a stop while skating next to and parallel to the boards with their hands reaching out toward the dasher. They can grab it if they need to or if they are getting a bit wobbly. These two tips seem to work pretty well. Skates that are too sharp and the fear of falling are two obstacles I try to address when training kids to use their edges.

      Hi Rick, yes those are good tips! In my first hockey Stop tutorial (it was in German) I covered that first one. I basically tell the kids to “make as much snow as you can”😃 and I agree, most skates are too sharp i.e. sharpened too deeply. They’d be better suited with a flatter hollow.

      What are some tips you give adults? Lol I came from roller hockey and I’m in my 3rd season on ice. I’ve gotten way better at skating and wasn’t to much of an issue with a small adjustment period. The big problem is my game being limited due to the fact I can’t properly hockey stop and quickly change directions like I could in roller. I can make one handed aggressive moves to the net with ease, but I can’t make a quick stop and open up to look for the pass or prepare for a one timer. At this point I’m getting frustrated lol.

      @@ryancaskey4975 I give the same tips to adults as I do to kids. It’s basically just a lot of practice and figuring out what you’re doing wrong. Film yourself like I did in this video and have a look at how your body positioning is and what part of your blade you’re stopping with!

      You’re welcome!
      It’s kind of a matter of preference. I think if you look at the eyelets of the skate when laced up, they should run fairly parallel to another.
      If they make a V, the skate is usually too loose.

    My friend Bernie works with Bridgeport and he tells everyone to swing the head around, stagger the feet, lead the turning knee forward. Keep the upper body aligned and do not over lean with the shoulders because it will lead to the player being pushed over much more easily

    I went skating today to learn this stop and I just kept turning instead of stopping like you said. Plus there were a lot of other people on the rink and I was always afraid of doing something that might make somebody else trip. Next time I need to try implementing your advice. 😃
