nice article, i can stop very easily as far a quick stops.
however i have noticed a lot of players do hockey stop but slide about 4 feet to kind of slow down to get off the ice. how do you do that, do you just put your legs closer together while stopping or do you have to have very shallow hollows

These skating tips and videos have been great and I’m already seeing improvement after just a couple of sessions.

Please keep adding skating tips and videos.

What would you suggest to help someone who seems to be spinning around quite a lot, or seems to be turning quickly when attempting to stop?

Im a noobie skater, got my first hockey skates for Christmas, woot! I tried “regular”skates years ago but the darned toe-pick always tripped me up.
I live on a lake so have LOTS of room but still either coast, grab an object, fall, or stumble to a stop. Its not pretty. I’m almost 56 so REALLY needed some lessons to (hopefully)avoid breaking something Your steps are very practical and I intend on practicing the ‘shaving’ method tomorrow. One step at a time, wish me luck and thanks so much!

I am not affiliated with this site but I will definitely tell you YES! While many times you can come to a stop with your favorite foot, there will be those “emergency” times in hockey where you have to quickly come to a stop with your off-foot. So instead of bailing and crashing you should spend the time now to learn and become comfortable with both feet.

Hey! I’ve been watching your videos and trying and I am finally starting to get the hang of it. My biggest problem is the mental barrier.. but I am slowly getting over it. I just had a quick question on stopping though. Should you learn how to stop both ways with the right and left foot in front? Does it really matter in hockey if you can stop either way?

Thank you!

Thanks HowtoHockey -this site is totally awesome! I’m 36 and have been inline aggressive skating for years -so on ice I can go but have never been able to stop (the correct way haha). I checked out your site the other day and practiced the gradual steps last night on the ice… I was able to hockey stop in about fifteen minutes- I could hardly believe it! I’m not a pro now by any means as it will still take quite a bit of practice to perfect at high speeds but I find it amazing that your simple teaching method is so effective.
