I saw the thread on Roller Hockey Stopping, well I'm having the exact opposite problem. After a bunch coaxing from friends and 4 - 5 years of roller hockey started my first season of ice. I've ice skated maybe 4 or 5 times ever, but I ice skate with decent speed but feel could be better if I could stop better. My first and only game so far (season just started) every time I stop I ended up doing a roller hockey move and can't seem to get my body to do the proper move. Xovers and forward/backward transistion is pretty good the only thing I feel holding me back is the lack of confidence in stopping. I'm hoping the first time it presents itself where I need to stop before hurting myself or somebody else it will just happen. Am I fooling myself thinking that? Any advice? Friends during a couple stick-n-shoots try to help me but I can't seem to stop doing the roller hockey move.
