- 1. Tight Turn
2. Fall on Hip
3. Stuck on Ice
4. Vibrating Skate
1. Tight Turn
First time on ice, after rollerblading all summer, I was not able to hockey stop. The reason is simple. I put all my weight on the heel. With the ice hockey stop your weight shall be on the toe balls.
It took me a little bit of time to realearn this, but when I did, it just clicked. The correct technique came back and I never faced this problem again.
Here I show the difference between the two. This is a proper hockey stop and notice how
- only the front of the blade scrapes the ice. The heel and center blade is not touching the ice at all
- knees above toes
Here's a tight turn. Only the heel touches the ice. Although it too is a stop in a way, it's easy to fall backward, so not recommended as a primary stopping technique.
Having said that, this is what I do on rollerblades, although with rollerblades it triggers a slide stop, also called the powerstop.
2. Fall on Hip
This happened my first session on ice, but thankfully never again. Not being able to hockey stop, I tried to lean more backward. Don't do that! It does not work.
With a hockey stop your upper body actually leans forward, it's only your skates and legs that are at an angle.
3. Stuck on Ice
This happens if you have a very upright stance. Instead of shaving ice, your skates basically just hoover over the ice, mid blade. Once your skate gets stuck in a crack, your balance is off.
About cracks on the ice ... there wil always be cracks because of this guy ... hmmp.
4. Vibrating Skate
If you notice your skates shake or vibrate sometimes, what happens is actually that your blade gets stuck in the ice, makes a small jump, gets stuck again, and so on. This repeats 10 or 30 times or so.
This does not occur when I'm balanced over my toe balls. It's only when I lean a bit back that the skates vibrate.
It makes sense since the blade is rounded. When you're on your toes only a small part touches the ice, therefore less friction and you're able to shave ice. When you're mid blade, the surface area is too big and the blade digs into the ice, only to jump up again, and so repeats over and over again.
Mistake: falling
"Ahhh, this video is for me"
Very well explained. four new things that I learned. ;)
Wow, looks nice, I'll try to do it with your tips
Useful video - I learnt how to stay low and in the front to avoid tight turns and vibrating skate
do you are latvien? You are in latvia in LIDO
Es esmu norvegu bet es dzivoju Rigaa.
I don’t know why I’m watching this I’ve played hockey for over 8 years
every day is a school day 👍
Because after 20 yrs playing ice hockey and its amusing to hear someone to tell you to stop on your toes
Cuz your taking a shit at work and don't enough time watch something you want
Lmao same bro
There is always a chance you might learn something new.
I've always found it infuriating how few YT instructors seem to be able to convey the super simple physics associated with hockey stops. Not the case here - your explanations are clear and efficient. And you're also one of the few people who mention the "eureka" element, at least to me - not digging in your heels or the mid section of the skate, but instead pushing the toes in. Simple move, makes a world of difference and is so often overlooked, with instructors instead going on and on about how you need to "lean into it", etc. Good vid, thanks!
I’ve been playing hockey my whole life and I can’t stop on my right foot if my life depended on it
Try jumping up and turning your feet worked on my weak side
LittleBilly69 same but on my life foot 😂 I can stop fine on my right foot
same for me but left
@@jocelynthomas1766 same dude
It might be a dominant eye thing like when you dont wanna do a cartwheel on your weak eye side
Hi. My problem is the vibrating skates. Now I understand pretty much and i' ll try to correct. Thanks !
Alexandre BOYER me too
Me three. But only on one side.
Same
Pon4ik i guess its the angle of the blade
Pon4ik Ow okay
Excellent video quality, very well shot with a second camera operator and I like that you diagramed the blade description too. Thank you!
I want to learn to play hockey but unfortunately I live in a desert. :’(
omfg same.
I've rollerskated in a desert once (true story :D), so at least inline hockey should be possible as well in theory ;)
oh my-
Bruh I live in LasVegas and I play Hockey Lmao
@@VertesaGaming I think he lives in a Middle East desert, which is way different.
Thank you for helping me stop
The only thing I was doing wrong was that I wasn't shaving the the ice with my toes I was just shaving the ice with my whole skate thank you very much
Wow. I cannot really do double-legged hockey stops, so your explanation is highly valuable to me. You seem to hit the nail on the head for someone who does not get it. The problem is how to move sideways on the balls of your feet with sharp grooved blades? I need them sharp for control. I have watched many skaters do this hockey stop with sharp blades with deep grooves. It is amazing! :) Will keep trying... Thanks for another insightful post!
Thank you for the kind words. It's more difficult with sharp blades, yes. If you can do it with dull but not sharp blades, I think you may stand too tall (?)
I've been skating for a couple months and I usually find I can do it some days but others I just seem to tight turn so thank you! I'll be on the rink in a couple hours to try putting more weight on my toes. :)
Great video!
As a new skater I've been finding the hockey stop very hard to learn. But this video makes it all make sense because it shows my problems with the stop (getting stuck in the ice and vibrating blades) being caused by my biggest problem in learning hockey: not bending my knees enough! This gives me the confidence that improving this one thing will help everything in my game. Thanks
Interesting, especially first one. Cause for parallel slide (hockey stop) on inline skates the active push of heels is the obligatory requirement. Otherwise you will not have a slide at all.
Nik Zvi Inline I have inline skates now (haven't tried them on ice) but I used to tried to do hockey stop with rental skates and it never work. I asked many skaters on how to do the hockey stop and some of them said I just have turned my legs 45° and I will able to do but there are some says that I have to make tiny hop when I'm about to stop. And now this video tells me that I just have to use the front of my blades to stop without making a tiny hop but turning my legs 45°
Nik Zvi Inline pls help..I've been struggling to do the hockey for a year now xD
@@tommyblade8093 you need to do a tiny hop to the balls of your feet
@@stubadub2k eait what?
Thanks for the advice,I used to roller skate about 15 yrs ago and now trying to get on the ice for my daughter,you can tell I used to skate but forgot more than I can remember 😂😂
thanks for showing where my weight needs to be, before I would just try the whole skate and I would get launched
Thank you for explaining the blade positions (toe vs heel)
The weight on the toes tip is the first I have ever heard of that and now it all makes so much sense why I can’t hockey stop, because I put all my weight on my heels. I have watched and tried so many tutorials and nothing has worked until this.
*_0:16_**_ Lido's ice rink in Riga.Rly??You from Latvia,write?_*
Damn, wish I had watched this when I tried to play 300 years ago. The only advice they gave then was "well, keep trying". I did, and was doing wrong every time.
Okay, I may only be as half as bright as a hockey puck, but at least now I'll be able to stop without being embarrassed.
very good lessons here....I am a beginning skater and haven't skated for years; hopefully i can get back 'in the swing" of things with your Lessons....Thanks a bunch maan !!!
Hope thats its going to go better tomorrow with ure tips, I tried it today without a tutorial and fell on my hip atleast 10 times now I cant sleep on that side anymore xD
I am playing hockey for 14 years rigth now and i have still problems with the "virbrating" skates sometimes. So for every beginner dont lose motivation if something doesnt work after a short while. ;)
Is there a difference between skating on a lake compared to skating in an ice rink?
A big one :) On the lake the ice is not even and there are a lot of natural crack and soft spots. Maybe even some plants?
On the rink the ice is maintained flat and repaired regularly (maybe every 2 hours).
SoVideo thx for the reply! But i was wondering about soft ice and hard ice. Which is easier for a beginner to skate on?
I tend to believe that a good teacher (or a good learning source) is much more important than the ice hardness. After that *probably* the softer ice is better since the speed is lowered.
huge
@12T90 LSD25 rink ice isn't harder than pond ice
thanks very helpfull
Yes, I too put too much weight on the heels.
1:33 - perfect formation- dang!
Does anyone else here try to "find" that sweet spot on their front foot before committing to a full on hockey stop- like, to everyone around you, it probably sounds as though your going to stop 30 feet (like 9 meters or so) before you are set up for a controlled and proper stop.
Is this normal before getting comfortable with stopping with both skates?
Chris - Atlanta.
This actually made so much sense and helped me relearn stopping and tight turns after 10 years off the ice! Just waiting for the Boston Gardens to freeze and get some time on the ice in! Thank you!
Great explanation, key points
Most useful video I have seen yet regarding hockey stopping. No other videos I have seen mentioned put your weight on the balls of your feet. Tanks, look forward to trying this one out.
The hockey stop comes kinda naturally to me
Riga represent!
Paldies par informāciju. Ļoti palīdzēja
that you for this, I've been looking for more of a technical breakdown and you helped me out a ton. Keep it up.
I just can't seem to commit to it. I don't know why.
was the clip on 0.16 in latvia?
My issue is that I'm scared of falling and so I'm too scared to commit to it.
Not sure I agree with this.
For hockey stops your weight should be on the leg directly under you and not on your extended leg. In the video he is stopping on the inside of his right blade edge when it should be the outside of his left blade edge.
Same for the tight turns, weight on the leg directly under you.
Why? The leg under you can perform a tighter turn than your outside leg, allowing you to pivot tighter and change direction quicker.
Also if you weight your outside foot and that slips or gets caught your other leg will be in line with or now behind your shoulder making any control harder due to momentum pushing your weight forward.
Where as if your leg under you slips or gets caught your momentum will instantly transfer to your outer foot, making it easier to save yourself.
Aswell as allowing you to bend your knee under your more ro generate more power.
You cant generate power when momentum isbtakingbtour outer leg away from you
i used to be able to hockey stop, but i stopped skating for a while and lost most of my skills. This video helped jog my memory, so thank you!
I don’t have these problems I just wanted to see how I could help people if they need it
Lol I can’t stop facing my right side but can hockey stop any other way
Thanks! I can never do a hockey stop. I will try to use what you showed here. I think my problem is that is expose too much blade rather than just my toe. So I'm always just stuck... no semblance of skidding whatsoever. But finally someone put it in terms of physics I can understand -- I need to have less edge exposed to the ice and only toward the toe end. Great video! Very interesting.
Do you have a step-by-step on how to do one for a complete beginner to hockey stops?
Happens to me too, sometimes it accidentally worked - and guess what, it was only the toe that had contact. The "off-ice" moment watching this video is where it sinks in. Now let's see if I don't fall back in my old habits again when on-ice.
Vibration is from wrong atk angle , example youre not deep enough on rear outside edge and the inside edge catches
He is weighting inside right edge far too much. That skate should barely touch the ice

One of the best vid tutorials I’ve seen for the hockey stop! Covers all the typical errors and really makes it clear how to do it properly. Nicely done !
it would be cool if you could somehow mount that camera on your skate.
I been watching videos to learn this before I attempt it again after 18 years of not ice skating. The way you had the dice showing at the end where the blade should touch completely just made it all click in my head and I was able to stop again lol. Some people just learn differently I guess lmao
Thank you for the very informative video. I watched more than a few and this one helped me the MOST, especially the part where you explained the rocker of the blade. I grew up playing roller hockey & skiing so this was exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
I have the right turn problem. I tried to correct it but found it hard. I’m going to try your tips and I’m glad I found this video👍🏽
Such a good video , could you do a similar one for quads ? . Looked on line but not really any good ones out there
Thanks
This is not proper hockey stop. Go to ITrainHockey and learn how to do it, then make film about it lol.
I wish you can show how to do this on figure skates!
You look very cute when you fall on your hip, just don't know why.
;)
как называется озеро?
I'm not sure I agree with this.

Nice video. Do wish you would have worked in a standing drill. When stopping from a near stationary position it becomes obvious were your you're body needs to be positioned.
Almost 15 now and been skating/playing hockey since i was like 2. First time in my life ive stopped and my skate has made that weird noise and vibration
İm tryna do hockey stop but every time im fall because blade stucks and im jumping
tight turns are also not easy ... you should be proud of yourself, even though it wasn’t your goal :D
This is beautiful. Could you tell me how deep do you sharpen the edges? (Radius of stone grinder) or is it totally flat 90 degree?
Blades jumping can be as simple as blunt blade. Your weight and what you do on the ice should dictate how you get your blade cut.
I know that this comment is 3 years late but the biggest problem people have is trust. Trust will come with time practice stoping if you fall get up and try it again once you get over the fear of it you will find that stop is much easier.
I would be nervous if I was ice skating on that lake. The ice looks black. I hope it is not too deep for your safety.
very good observation (the first one with the heel). I skate on rollerblade and I cannot stop on ich skates well. maybe IT will help.
Łukasz Miler same here but im also trying to hockey stop on oce with my weak side (I'm hoping ice skating will improve my overall skating skill)
W VID BRU THANKS TO U I CAN FINALLY HOCKEY STOP IVE BEEN TRAINING FOR WEEKS BUT I KEPT FALLING BUT THANKS TO U I CAN DO IT NOW AND ITS SO FUN W VID BRU
Just started skating and this vid actually helped me a lot Thanks !!!
Where can I find A website that sells ice skates? Thanks for taking your time to read this🤍
In the congress ice rink if you kick the side by the door of the rink the light will change;)
Lido slidotava!!🤘🏻
i like to call the vibrating skate more like the lightning stop xD
the background is very depressing
Can I do the hockey stop with figure skates?
I have tried it butt i cant get it in controll i cant keep my balance
Can someone stop right and left side 😂 easy.
I culd do it first try and iv never been on the ice i am in love whit this sport
Your weight should be on the middle of your foot
i just bang into the wall at a very fast speed
Good tip i did not use the front of my skate when i tried
Interesting. I know understand why my skates vibrate.
Weight on the toes. Have to remember that.
cool video! I started skating 3 months ago and I think hockey stop is approachable for me but tight turn.... can't do that, can't even try without falling. Help me please :)
So how do I skate on ice with roller skates?
Thank you for explaining this! I started ice skating after having rollerbladed for many years, and can never get the hockey stop correctly. I'm pretty sure now it's because I'm using the whole blade instead of balancing on the front.
I find that using the full flat part of the blade decreases the stopping distance. However, the blade does not dig into the ice as much as using the near-tip of the blade. Anyhow, the physics make sense.
My technique is to use the flat part of the blade + leaning backward. The learning motion adjusts the blades' angle.
Hope this helps I will try it when I’m back on the ice in 2 days , I’ve only been skating few months but only go once a week , I’ve been trying to practice my stops but just seem to dig in and I hit the board’s with my toes I will try to put my weight on my toes on Sunday hopefully it works as I’ve had a few nasty falls haha wouldn’t think my mum of 81 used to be a figure skater/ice dancer and free style skater haha I just love ice hockey so only decided to try and learn at 44 as my son wants to be an ice hockey player so I went with him and love it just want to get better at it now haha 👍🏼 thanks for the video hope it helps …
Thank you sm this was really helpful, I have watched a lot of videos on how to hockey stop but this is def the best one. The beginner problems you stated were exactly what I was having trouble with. Thx sm
I've watched dozens of videos that combined show what this video does. But this video is my favorite of all, it has everything in one! The physics, the blade placement, the only thing he doesn't talk about is when to put your weight on your outside leg and when to have the weight on your inside leg, which i learned from a guy at the rink. As a beginning skater trying to learn this, (which i still haven't done an actual hockey stop) I'm starting to get comfortable sliding on both skates.
dobvy den misa potrebuje naucit bjuslit dekuji vesely matysek
amazing overview 👌👌
This is a basic skating skill but I can't seem to master it although I'm a good skater. It is the first video (out of so many garbage videos explaining how to do hockey stop) that enlightens me why I can't do it.
thank you ! Good vid!!
Never did the hockeystop on iceskates, but i am practising on inlines. I am stuck on keeping the turn going, does tip 1 (toe pressure instead of heel pressure) also apply to inlines?
The opposite I think, he even said it in the video
Vibrating skate problem here too... can't wait to try to focus on leaning on the front more, although I dont think my skates were sharpened right either...
I really don't understand how you can do stop on ice skating slowly with that much distance.. I can do stops, but it's usually very short and strong stops..
I get vibrating skates only because when I'm not in goalie gear I'm a lot lighter so I have to get used to skating normaly
Awesome information, thank very much. All this time I never knew about the weight being on the front of the blade.
My problem is whenever I stop in correct position I slow down from it and fall or just generally fall from stopping
this is amazing....i rollerblade and am recently learning to ice skate. quite different!!
DUDE I have a new pair of skates and I think they re too sharp so my blade get stuck a lot in the ice and it doesn't let me slide on it. What can I do? Is there anyway to unsharp them? I need help please ask me asap. BYE
Going to practice tomorrow with the hopes of leaning forwards solves my problem I've had for two years
