How To Hockey Stop On Weaker Side - Tips to learn to stop on weak or opposite side

great

ну так , ну так

How old were you in your "how to eagle stop" video back in 09? and how long have you been skating, and do you live in england? how did you come to enjoy skating so much? Sorry for the loads of questions, Its just interesting to hear how some people came to love skating and the sport of hockey in different parts of the world that may not be traditionally popular with the sport!

Great tute thanks mate! Ex hockey player of 50 years old and 'everyday' inline hockey skater, I have recent access to a bit of ice for the winter so am going to get back on it!! Cheers for all of the hockey and skating tutorials and have a great New Year, bud!!

this guy's amasing! excellet presetation skills

What muscles are used during the hockey stop?

The instructions weren't clear enough.... got my dick stuck in the ceiling fan

I like your recommendation to do it on alternate sides in order to identify what you are doing differently. I was having trouble with the left backwards hockey stop, so tried your suggestion. It turns out I was using the wrong part of the blade. Once I moved my weight to the centre rather than the front, my left backwards hockey stop improved markedly. Many thanks. :)

I've been skating for 19 years. Off and on. I'd say I'm a good skater. BUT I will never be able to stop on my weaker side. Not even a remote chance while going slowly. I've come to realize it has little to do with the legs but the hips and glutes. It's like the ability to dance ... some people can shake their hips all they want but if they don't have rhythm then they don't have rhythm.

Mine turn into a T stop or one foot stop for both feet

For some reason when I stop I always use one foot.

Hello, I started hockey very recently (I'm 26 years old) and I'm currently practicing the hockey stops. I feel like I'm able to stop on my strong side (even tho I feel like my back skate doesn't really brake compared to the front one, maybe it's because I'm not enough distributing the strength in both legs?) , but my weak side just doesn't work at all, it feels like my leg can't even turn to brake... Is it normal when you're a beginner ? It's hard to practice the weak side when your leg doesn't turn at all, the only thing I manage to do in this situation is turning on myself (don't know the english word , sorry) , it's quite frustrating ... Do you have any advice ? Shoud I practice my strong side very much to learn how to perfectly stop , and then start working on my weak side, or should I work on both right now ? Thanks for your advices, your tutorials are great !

Ohhh You talk sooo much and quick... but thanks for your films

Thanks man, Try these and shoot-arounds :D

Talk to much i could not follw

Don’t use too much edge
I couldn’t stop on my left side for a long time so I did lessons with a coach and instead of making me have my foot at a really steep angle she had me put my foot more upright

Now do the single skate hockey stop on your outside edge. When you can do that then you can be an instructor. Good drills you need the practice your skates warble all over the place.

Whenever i need hockey advice i think yeah let me go ask a black British dude.

Always been stronger stopping my right foot and weaker on my left and was confused and concerned about twisting my ankle. It is interesting to see the science behind stopping correctly and it takes a lot of practice, for sure! Thanks for the tips btw! I will be putting this to practice and see if I can get both sides perfected. Then I will be very sore. Then I will hopefully be an all-star! lol Thanks again! 🇨🇦

Bruh, I'm really confused...you keep saying to stop on your left side to use your outside edge and the diagram shows your boot steeply angled in from the left...I think you meant to say "to stop on your right side". Please clarify.

You talk a lot.

this has been rally helping me thank you

thank you for this, helped a bunch

Too m7ch talking

Skates are so loose...

Looks like you got 2 weak sides?

Thank you bro you have been helping me for so long

HEY MAN, CAN I BUY SOME CRACK OR COCAINE OFF OF YOU

lol

Sorry speak much

Tighten your skates

You are speaking so fast 😅 my English says „error“

For anyone reading this my coach taught me to stop on my weak side & what he had me do made it very simple & quick to learn, I’ll share it with you guys.

1.) Get your skate blades really dull if possible (that’s about it) lol.

Me personally I used a pair of my back up skates & skated at multiple skate sessions and put a lot of wear on my blades to get them really dull. Dull as in they were wanting to slide out from under my feet while doing crossovers. After I got them that way it was really simple for me to get my position correct & lean back properly. I didn’t have to really worry about if I had a bad formation I’d catch a edge and flip fowards over my skates. It made it really easy to learn on my weak side and to find the right posture. I learned on my weak side in an hour doing this & it carried on to now I can do it as good as my normal side. Good luck!

it's lewis Hamilton

You give some very good tips here in your video. Thank you. Someone writes here that you should have your skates dull? I have been skating all my life for decades and I never heard of such a tip. I think a lot depends on your ice skate shoes and your blades. If you have good shoes, good support around your ankles, and sharp blades, the standard is a 3/8 groove for the blades, you would gain confidence to do all this. The rental shoes at most ice rinks are trash. Those shoes are dangerous. Invest in buying your own pair of skates. Do not buy 20 dollar shoes. Good shoes are expensive. I remember when I bought my first pair if ice skates. They cost me around $ 65 dollars. Then a few years later I bought myself a $ 300 dollar pair of ice skates. Now, more years have passed and I think I will invest in a still better pair of skates that are out there because I intend to do ice skating for the rest of my life. The new shoes out there mold to the shape of your feet. That is so awesome. If you have dull skates your feet are going to be sliding all over. If your blades have a very deep groove then you might break your ankles because the edges would be so sharp that they will catch in the ice and you would not be able to shave the ice that easily and stop. You would stop instantly of course if you break your ankles, but you don't want that. You want to be able to stop without causing your body any pain. A sharp blade lets you grip the ice better, for turns, acceleration, stops, crossovers, etc. I do T stops or one foot stops on the ice for show sometimes, but if the ice is also torn and cracked you could easily break your ankles with this fancy stop. The ice should be smooth and not broken. It is only logical. You practice safety when you are doing these things on the ice. You don't overdo it or go beyond your limits. Mastering the T stops on both sides, weak and strong sides, took me 30 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the hardest stop to learn, so everything takes time. Patience pays ladies and gentlemen and keep on ice skating. Your body will thank you because of its cardiovascular benefits.

Thank you bro. Your videos are amazing!

is it just me or are his skates too loose

the ice rink doesnt have someone who manages it during public hours cause of covid, so i turned into the only person in the whole ice rink who just skates the other way, i look stupid but i have to practice my weak side somehow

was practicing this the other day when i went and i could kinda do it with my left in front but with my right i didn’t even slide

My right leg is the stronger side but im better at hockey stops on my left side 🤔

I’m weak on my right side

Danke!

Great tutorial! From my experience ( I am right now practicing hockey stop on the weaker side) the MOST important thing to me was to sharpen my skates from 3/4" to 1". This dramatically changed my performance :) My weight is 84kg. Good luck to everyone practicing right now!

My weak side is the left can't even stop

A mental cue that helped me is belly button over the inside thigh.

Not the best skater.

Trying to get back into hockey at 25 years is not like riding a bike....shooting on right side and not able to hockey stop on my left side isnt a good combo...good video with great ideas to practice 🎉

You guys are learning from someone who is a BENDER LOLLLL. Bro, British people should not be teaching anyone how to skate 😂😂😂😂 stick to soccer and biscuits buddy.
