How do I hockey stop on ice skates?

What do I do to stop and how does it work?

1. Bend your knees and lower your body: This lowers your center of gravity and helps you absorb more force from the stop.
2. Extend your non-dominant leg to the side: This creates a wider base of support and prevents you from falling over.
3. Dig the toe of your dominant skate into the ice: Angle the toe slightly toward the inside for better grip.
4. Push off with your non-dominant leg: As you dig in with your dominant skate, push off with your non-dominant leg to help you slow down.
5. Glide to a stop: Once you have initiated the stop, glide forward on your dominant skate until you come to a complete stop.

How it works:

• Digging the toe of your skate into the ice creates friction, which helps to decelerate you.
• Pushing off with your non-dominant leg provides additional force to help you stop.
• The combination of these actions allows you to quickly and effectively stop on ice skates.

Additional Tips:

• Practice in a safe, open area before attempting the hockey stop on the ice.
• Use a hockey stick to help you balance and control your movement.
• Be patient and persistent, as learning the hockey stop takes practice.
