Hardest Backward Stop

[WitemenHidin]

My brother, who's 11, has been playing for only two years. The first time he tried this, he did it better than you did in this video.

[BeaTzDruGz]

Thats not hard im 12 and can do this . Nub

[Wolfi4eva]

@BeaTzDruGz ok then, id like you to record a video of you doing it.

[SharksfanSJS12]

i can do that in my sleep

[SIOUXMAN74]

Its easy

[Gotyk994]

One question, has anyone tried doing it without a hockey stick? I'm a speed skater but I do freestyle skating as well and just wondered if I wouldn't just kill myself before I actually go out and do it :)

[0ffTheAir]

I can do that :/? But I think its

More effective to do backwards crossovers back into forward skating, gets your speed up without losing your momentum

[Longboarding247]

i just realized i do tat stop when i play defence but ot forward, how wierd is that?!

hockeycanada18: Thanks for your comments. A 1 skate stop is executed when a skate edge is rotated into a perpendicular position in the direction of travel. Next, knee flexion is executed to generate potential energy, this creates friction between the skate edge and the ice to stop.This same knee flexion energizes the muscles to become spring loaded for the first push-off.

Balance is not an issue, when a player trains this particular stop creating muscle memory.It's executed in an automatic mode.

[hockeycanada18]

This is good if you are working your edges. It's useless in a game for two reasons, 1 you have no balance in this as stoping should become a reaction and 2 there is no power from this foot for the next push! pretty useless, practice things that translate into a game.

[j14mp]

I can do it :-)

[Kocktopus]

This isn't really anything special. Not that hard to do.

[beasttv2]

how many times have you seen people break there ankles or face while trying to learn to do this? look cool i wouldnt try it though

[MrLadd92]

not being funny but i can do that with both feet turned inwards going backwards?

[RENJ55]

i used to practice this... then i took an arrow to the knee... dont know if anyone has already said this yet. and i dont even play skyrim. but seriously... that looks cool

[snipeye1]

im 19 and i bet i can even do that

[SouthParkRocks9]

@snipeye1 age dont matter ;3

[wisconification]

@snipeye1 youre obviously not 19 because no fucking 19 year old would say anything about their age on youtube and whether they can do something or not. unless youre such a bad player you can only some stupid ass comment on youtube

[hockeyalley1]

I invented this stop back in 1984.

PART 1 Explanation billboy: Thanks for your comments.

Inorder to understand the functional purpose of this stop, we need to understand 'friction' and 'kinetic energy'. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion - skating. Friction is the pressure applied by the skate edge into the ice, this force creates drag which removes the kinetic energy of skating;hence, stopping.

Amount of friction = stopping power.

The first push-off, is the same in both stop methods - the stop skate is the first push-off.

[MMSPHockey]

PART 2 Explanation billboy: This stop is executed when the left hip and left skate is turned inward. This is the 'body set-up' needed to use the outside skate edge to stop.

The inside skate edge stop, the hip and skate are turned outward.

The inward rotation generates 'more friction' then the outward rotation. More friction = more stopping power.

It's also more productive, account the stop is excecuted facing the game play - the outward rotation is executed with the body turned sideways.

[billboy1616]

@MMSPHockey Thanks it makes much more sense when you xplained how the stop is executed in part 2 and thank you very much for taking the time to explain it in detail very much apreciated

[billboy1616]

Sorry but I cant see the point of this in a game situation.Its just my take on this but surely it would be better to do this on the inside edge so once you stop you can push off on the stopping leg straight away therefore not losing any time changing direction from backwards to forwards this looks like showboating plain and simple and not really relavent to teaching new skills. If you dont agree please be kind enough to explain why

[MMSPHockey]

I'm glad to hear some are executing this stop. MMSP trains 6 differnet stops that can be executed when skating backwards. This particular stop is executed with the left foot turned inward (not outward) to grab the outside skate edge - at top speeds. After instructing 1000's of players over 30 + years (at all levels) I have yet to see it executed . As well as, this stop has never been published or executed on video before.

[trentotv]

i played hockey most of my life and did that every game along with alot of other players. this is nothing special

[Lukaz432]

Looks nice~

[oehieze]

I popped my ankle just WATCHING this! lol

[planbska88ter]

does anybody else here think this is easy as shit and did this their next practice no problem

[scooterboi17]

@planbska88ter nope.

[MMSPHockey]

The T-Stop in figure skating is executed on the outside while leaning backwards.

[MMSPHockey]

You're correct in saying that the T-Stop is executed on the outside edge when it is used in figure skating. However in ice hockey, the figure skating T-Stop doesn't have a practical application in the game. MMSP teaches a single skate inside edge stop while the other leg moves into position for the next push off. This alignment is similar to a "T" form. The distinction in ice hockey is that all stops are executed with the upper torso leaning forward.

[jackripstick]

i can do that and im 13

[scooterboi17]

@jackripstick Go to bed. What does being 13 have to do with whether this is a good stop to learn? Now go to bed.

[jackripstick]

@scooterboi17 its not the hardest stop to do if a kid can do it and why do u keep saying go to bed u fucking pedo

[Soulfear420]

Thjis is much more advanced than the T stop by far, because I can T stop, this is very hard to do..

[JoelsBlawg]

I'll try this in practice! It's very creative!

[MMSPHockey]

Not similar;

The T-Stop is executed using the inside edge of the skate blade. The hardest backward stop is executed using "only" the outside edge of the skate blade.

Thank you for your comment.

[dgcder]

@MMSPHockey

T-Stops use the outside edge.

[THExWINDxBLOWSx]

sort of flike the T stop
