To be able to do a full hockey stop at full speed, you will need to gain confidence in using all ur edges properly. I recently took a power skating level 1 class at caplan sports in Burnaby (8 rinks), and to be honest they just teach you the fundamentals and you will need to practise on your own to be fully capable of being able to do what you're taught. They will watch you and tell you what you're doing wrong and assist you. The class is one hour long, they teach you one skating skill (forward stride, crossovers, stopping etc) and one hockey skill (wrist shot, snap shot, passing etc) per class, it's approx $111 tax included for 7 sessions.


I find that I have improved as a player overall and not just a skater, I'm not sure if you want to get yourself into hockey but I can tell you bailing with your full gear on is much better than bailing without. You will not go from a 1 goal / season player into a 30 goal / season player but you will gain confidence in your game and you will become a better skater. Another thing is you will not get any better if you dont practise, it's not magic you need to put what your taught to use, practise makes perfect and no matter how many times you fall just get right up and do it again because you will eventually get it. If you ask me would I recommend it, I would tell you it's probably one of the best $111 I've ever spent. If you don't think you're ready for this class, lemme tell you that there are girls in my class and there are people that can't even forward stride, from what I read you're ahead of half my class already.
