No it’s not 👍🏒🥅

I think the most important detail here is that the heel is not touching the ice. it all happens on the mid and forward part of the skate. The front balance is my biggest issue here.

Omg thanks so much! Most people just say “Twist your hips” but you helped so much more!

The best tutorial hockey stop video I have ever watched! so helpful! Thank you

This is actually really helpful, it's a really good thing that he slowed it down as well after doing them a few times at normal speed so you would have an idea on what you're supposed to be doing. Great job, amazing!👌🏼

This is exactly what I needed thank you. Ppl can explain til they’re blue in the face but the slow motion visuals are much more helpful.

let me know how it goes!

Great instructional video…..I’m really amazed at the amount of snow an NHL player kicks up during a normal hockey stop, an indication of the edge control and power a high level player has.

This helped with my confidence, just got back to skating and trying to relearn how to use my edges right and stop without getting stuck on ice, I thought I looked stupid sitting by the edge just shaving snow

I have the inside edge stop on one foot pretty well now, but the outside edge drills look like they can help me! Thanks for this video!

I had a pair of garage sale hockey skates when I was in middle school and they had never been sharpened. . . I didn't know that. I also wanted to learn how to perform a hockey stop. Well, this was actually a good thing because what it allowed me to do was skate and get up to speed and then turn both skates sideways like I was going to hockey stop, but I just kept sliding sideways. . . all the way across the ice. The skates were at least sharp enough that I could skate without falling, and if I really dug the edge in while sliding sideways, I could actually hockey stop. It was incredibly simple. I didn't realize until years later that my skates weren't sharp, so getting used to actual sharpened skates was a bit of a challenge, but the point still remained: I learned to hockey stop by using dull, crappy skates, and sliding sideways across the ice arena not only looked weird, it was also kind of fun.

I've watched heaps of clips on hockey stop. I think this one will help me the most. Thanks!

Thank you! This is the most useful video on learning how to hockey stop. I wish you had a video like this for forward to backwards transitions and forward cross overs.

Thank you, thank you. I was looking for drills for the outside edge.

You are a reeeeaaaal coach! Showed us all aspects! Thanks a lot! I zoom out to show to all my friends:)

IM YOUR THOUSAND SUBSCRIBER!!!!

I like the idea of doing the two-foot stops near the boards to help keep your feet in line. I've realized on most of my "two-foot" stops, I'm really just dragging my back skate, and digging in with my front skate, instead of using both feed. Then when it comes time to try and turn that stop into a transition into backwards skating, my feet are just all sorts of wrong.

Before I could sort of stop on my right side and very badly and unreliably on my left. Then I spent about two hours doing these drills and I can stop on both sides somewhat well now. I only had about five minutes to actually put it all together and do a proper hockey stop, but I think with another 30 minutes or so I will be reasonably proficient. (Obviously I won’t be “good” that fast, but I won’t be scared of crashing!) Thank you for the video, it was really helpful.

Got the inside down. Now I'm going to work the outside. This is the only video I've seen that breaks down outside edge stop!

Do you have a video on outside edge one leg stop (back leg) ? If not, it would be awesome if you could do it.

To be honest these are the types of videos that help players and thank you. To be not honest you can improve your skating by doing nothing but slap shots during sticks-and-pucks or lining up in the middle of the ice and practicing break aways against a goalie; this absolutely does not interrupt any of the other sticks-and-pucks participants from doing there skills.

Awesome video. Very helpful. Thanks

Love it! Helpful. Thanks.

Best video, it’s helping me a lot Thanks 🙏

Awesome! That's the "must-be-acquired" skills process!)

Thank you so much this helped me soooo much!

Thanks, next time ill try also some drills from your video! Really really helpful.

I’m having a lot of trouble hockey stopping on my weak side. On strong side it’s not a problem, downright easy, but For the life of me, I can’t get my brain to tell my body to adjust my weight accordingly and just slide sideways creating snow on toe to mid skate steel. I keep willing it to happen off the ice, I watch people make it look so easy, so it motivates me but on ice I just turn into a 2 yr old afraid to fall, overthinking the mechanics and failing every time! Lol! I’m gonna keep practicing your video and hope it helps! Thank you! So much! I’ve only been playing since Christmas but I’m definitely seeing improvement in all other areas except this one! 😂

Hold onto the boards. By leaning on the boards, you take the weight off your feet, and it makes it easier to practice shaving the ice. I will make a video next week and post some comments to try and help more.

I don't think anything compare's to the toe-pick on figure skater's skates. I caught one of those while learning to stop before I decided to wear my shin guards to public skates. Let's just say after being dumped right onto my unpadded knee, I decided I didn't care how goofy I looked wearing pads.

All good up to outside edge stuff. Then I hit the wall in my learning curve (fortunately not the actual wall but if I tried an outside edge stop at the wall I would hit that hard too). The ankle strength just doesn’t seem there to even do the standing shave drill. I assume it takes a while to build that finesse. My foot shudders/skips along the surface even gently trying to shave the ice standing there

Extremely helpful.

Great video Andre!

Very good video man!

I’m a kid and I’ve been ice skating for 7 or 8 years, I learnt how to hockey stop about 3 years ago but during COVID it shut down so I had to go on roller for a while. Few months after lockdown I went back to ice and it was so different! I couldn’t even stop and I kept falling over. But it taken literally only 2 hours to re learn to hockey stop so I’m back at it

I spit out my drink at your slow motion fall!! So funny! But honestly awesome video. Great break down.

@AndreLePuck

4 жыл бұрын

Yep 5/8 makes it easier for sure

The slow mo really drags it on

I'm wondering if having a hockey stick makes it easier to counterbalance the significant body weight leaning it appears to take to stop? I'm re-learning how to skate on hockey skates (first time in decades -- literally not since adolescence, where I was fairly weak and could only stop due to toe picks on figure skates). On hockey skates, I find myself way too anxious even when learning snow plow stops. I don't feel at ease with my hands empty, if that makes sense -- I like the appearance of stability that holding a stick seems to create. Is there something to this reasoning, or no? I only ask because stop lesson demos on hockey skates, specifically, tend not to be "hands-free", if that makes sense.

@AndreLePuck

Great point... I remember my power skating lessons when I was a kid, we were not allowed to bring hockey sticks for this reason. You should learn all these exercises hand-free. The stick can be used as a crutch, but that creates a bad habit and weaker skating skills

@@AndreLePuck Will do! Appreciate that!

I can mostly hockey stop on my strong side (right foot back) but I can't do left foot back and I can't even do the first part of your video (sliding leg out and shaving ice) with either leg. Is that a problem with leg strength, blade angle, blade sharpness, or something else? I'm trying to get proficient with stopping on both sides and I can't figure out how to build up the weak side at this point besides trying and failing over and over until I figure it out. I'll try your method but like I said, I can't even do the first step on either leg which seems weird since I can full stop on my dominant side.

@AndreLePuck

You have to practice your balance and start with a gentle shave with your left foot. Use the boards to take weight off the foot and then gradually apply more weight as you get better at shaving the ice.

where do i put the weight in my foot?

My skates don’t slide like that. They just stop. I have to lift them off the ice. I asked the shop guy to make my blades dull instead of sharp. He says, there you go you should be able to do a hockey stop now. But I still can’t. They’re glue to the ice! Is this like learning how to ride a bicycle? I feel so dumb.

also, the angle of the blade could be too steep. Try angling the blade more upright. ie. it's easier to slide on a 90 degree angle than a 45 degree angle

@AndreLePuck

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Larry, thanks for your question. I'll make a video about this issue. Sharp skates are definitely more difficult and is good practice for more advanced skaters. Beginners with sharp skates can soften up your blades by stepping heel to toe on the plastic lip just below the doors to the benches. Next, you just need to make sure the angle of the blade of your skate is more upright so you're not cutting into the ice too sharp. Then pressure is also a main factor. The weaker your muscles are, and if you have bad balance, you have to be patient and apply less force/weight and gently shave the ice. The more balance and strength you acquire will help you apply more pressure.

oh and experimenting with different angles is also important. So when you go slower and you are just learning, the angle has to be more upright for a gentle slow stop, then when you get faster and stronger, you can increase the angle for a quicker stop, and then that's how you get a bigger spray!
