I've been practicing for 3 weeks straight, I can stride well, cross over, and pizza.. but for the life of me, I can't hockey stop or skate backwards.

Thanks for this video, it helped me. The one thing that I realized when stopping is to keep the knee bent, get your hips rotated, and to absorb the stop in your hip and upper leg muscles. Getting into a position where you can feel your upper laces on your shin so you know you're ready, and then absorbing is where it's at.

Ehrhoff !! I'm learning to play hockey and fun to be taught how to stop from a former Sharks player :D

I've been skating on and off for nearly 13 years now but I'm hoping these lessons help. I may be a Ducks fan but I loved Ehrhoff's work for the Sharks

Nice video.
I felt comfortable with my left foot's outside edge, but my right food's inside edge was always stuck on the ice. I tried to shave the ice with inside edge while standing. This works perfectly. However when I turn left while moving and tried to stop, my inside edge was stuck. How can I overcome this? TY.

I learn 1 hour with my experience trainer, then I can do Hockey stop by using his advice.
