1. While standing still, stand on top of your skates so that you're on both of the edges on each foot. - This is called a Neutral Edge. You are neither on your inside edge nor your outside edge. 2. Next, keep your balance in the middle of your feet while on still standing on a neutral edge. 3. Lastly, on this neutral edge, twist your feet about 90 degrees. - Your feet should move easily, and you should keep your balance. - Keep twisting back and forth until this is easier.
Stop with two feet including the outside edge
The last piece to the hockey stop is to use both feet. It's a great achievement to stop with one foot. That will give you control and help keep you and others safe. Stopping with two feet, will give you agility and speed so you can raise your hockey game.
The hardest part is learning to balance on the outside edge on one foot. Once you can do one foot, it will be easier to stop with both feet digging into their edges.
Start by skating forward and then gliding.
Then, stand on one foot and place your other foot in front of the gliding foot.
- Gently, place the non-gliding front foot perpendicular to the gliding foot, and land the skate on it's outside edge. Use this foot to start shaving the ice.
This will be a "T" shape.
It should be done gently and with control and balance.
Stop yourself completely by only applying pressure to the outside edge of the front foot.
Repeat with the opposite foot.
Good luck!
