Thank you! Thanks You! Thank You! I have been looking for this turn all over the net and cannot find instruction on this. Watch Matt Duchene in the recent (2016 IIHF World Championships) He is a beast at these turns. Again, thank you
ocweather Every time you go on the ice for the next couple of months, make a habit of practicing a certain number of T-stops in both directions. Stay away from the boards because it's easy to screw it up and pitch forward. To start, don't worry about coming to a complete stop. Just try and brake using a T-stop. As you get more and more confident, at some point you "just" need to commit to a full stop by leaning back. If you don't commit, your back blade with chatter. As Kevin notes, opening up the hip to get that stopping blade at 90 degrees is important.
ocweather It probably means that you are not strong enough on your outside edges. Practice outsides edges (search on youtube for, "Hockey Outside Edges", a video from m2hockey comes up along with others). Once you can comfortably go through a long 180 degree turn on a single outside edge, then you should have a lot more confidence in using that outside edge of your inside foot for stops and tight turns.
ocweather develop your outside edges - you need to have a lot of confidence in them before you are able to execute this turn efficiently. You also will need to make sure you keep the foot underneath your body - another mistake I see a lot if people "reach" that foot in front of them. When this happens, you can't properly push into the ice with the edge.
m2hockey Thank you for posting this vid, this is a skill I've been trying to get down for a while but have been unsuccessful. In addition to getting more comfortable on the outside edge, I like that last point on "reaching", I think I have a tendency to do that. Great stuff!
Hey guys I need a bit of help so I have recently got back on the ice for 3 on 3 hockey for my off season training and its been like 5 games and I still can't play my game I can't score and finish plays also I seem to have lost my speed so any off ice tips for me to get my game back and running (also I know this doesn't relate to tight turns)
Man, you explain everything so well.
Seen a lot of videos on these. Probably the best & easiest explanation out there. Cheers!
great description of the punch turn with some details I hadn’t thought of thank you

Great video, and excellent instructor.
Hey man, welcome back!
This is good stuff. Thanks for posting!
Great explanation!
I have a tough time stopping with that inside foot. I don't feel strong and confident to do it. Any pointers?

Awesome! Thanks!
The tip about using the front to middle of the blade to start the jam turn is money. Thank you!
