Hey Jeremy I am having trouble doing the hockey stop. I can’t seem to push out with my leg. What do you think I can do to improve my stop?
you are putting to much preshure on it
Hi,
a lot of hockey players stop on one foot on the outside edge. Can you explain how to do this!?
Thanks!
Christian
Jeremy,
First of all, thanks for the great site. My son is 10 and is just becoming confident on skates. We’re gearing up for learning hockey outdoors (just bought sticks for Christmas), and we both just subscribed to your site. I wonder if you might put together a video on crossovers?
Thanks,

I can do a regular hockey stop but I was wondering how and if you can make a video on how to do a hockey stop from going backwards
Hey, I had a question involving stops. i’ve watched the videos and i’ve had a private instructor help but i still have problems stopping on one side (the right foot). the right is definitely the power foot but when i stop i creates jags on the ice. i’ve been told to try to keep the weight more on the middle to toes which sometimes helps but doesn’t always stop well. any advice?
If you watched the videos and got private help all I would say is practice a lot until you get it. Use the hockey stop for beginner video to slowly progress. I keep the weight equally balanced during stops, use the inside edge of your front foot and outside edge of your back foot.
I watched the video for absolute beginners and it helped so much. I’ve been ice skating for about 4 hours now and can already hockey stop. Thanks so much. All your videos are amazing and I love how clear and easy they are to understand.

Hi Jeremy
Are you the guy in the Canada shirt in the stopping video?
you’re really hot.
yes i am
Thanks for the tips on stopping. I’m 52 and starting to skate again after 20 years! Its great fun and I can skate as well or better than I did as a kid. But I still can’t really stop going the one way (I can stop fine the other way). I guess its just a mental barrier- I’ll work on it this winter.
hi guys i really nned your help. your videos are great about the hockey stops, i can shave the ice with both feet but im having a little problem to complete the full hockey stop which im in big need for, my problem is that when my leading leg (my right leg)is pointing inwards is shaves no problem and i come to a stop its just my left leg i cant seem to get it on its edge and come to a complete stop. i hope you guys can help me thank you very much for your time, patrick from the uk. and keep up the good work
Sounds like you are on the right track, just keep on practicing and watching the videos for the proper form. If you keep on practicing you will get it, just don’t lose your confidence and remember the proper technique.
This site is fantastic, thanks!
My seven year old son is just getting in to hockey. I never played, so I am unable to draw from my own experiences to help him. This site is perfect to close that gap. The videos are the best I have found on the Internet regarding the hockey stop, great job. Very clear and easy to understand instructions!
