Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Luke. I'm from Boston, Massachusetts. I play for the University of North Carolina Wilmington Seahawks, and I'm going to tell you how to stop and quick start in ice hockey.

You want to use your inside edge, from your far foot, and your outside edge from your closer foot, and use all your body weight, to stop ,so you're really going to be pushing on your skates, like so, and then after you stop, like so. To get a quick start, you really want to cross over with your outside foot, over your inside foot, to get a good stop, and I'll demonstrate for that to you now, and that's how you stop and quick start in ice hockey."
