Hockey stops and skid stops are one of the fastest ways to stop in roller derby and great for jammers approaching the pack.

Think of a hockey stop as a very tight turn, so tight that you stop. You'll need a wide stance, and it can help to skate in an outwards curve to make that turn tighter. You'll feel your outside leg start to slide and you need to allow it to slip, before adding a final quick in to stop. Getting really low whilst doing a hockey stop, skid stop or power slide will make a big difference to your stability.

thank you so much. I really need to learn this technique. I know I could have used it many times in my casual skating. Your video really broke it down for me, thank you.

Skaters are asking about double footed hockey stops. If you have a surface that is too grippy, too slippy or inconsistent (so anything but perfect), you are best to have one of your skates planted for stability and control. It is true that double footed stops will stop you slightly quicker, but if you hit an unexpected dusty or wet patch, your feet will get away from you. Practice both:-)

This is how you will hockey stop on most surfaces. If you want to double foot hockey stop, or single foot, you need to have this mastered first.

If your travelling backwards on one foot while the other foot is at 90 degrees this is a power slide, not a hockey stop. A hockey stop uses both feet to stop, and they are kept reasonably prarrallel throughout the complete movement. The hockey stop is double footed by default.

@@SkateBritain that maybe so, but the one footed stop is still a power slide. Not a hockey stop. And just because you use a power slide while playing roller hockey, does not make it a hockey stop.
