starting Hockey at 32 and skating, it's been a blast.
Wish I did this as a kid. Huge learning curve. After about 15 ice times, I still can't get the hockey stop down. Tips?

Practice, practice, and practice some more.
I started with the reverse V, using one foot at a time.

If you can:
- Wear your gear. When you're less afraid of falling, you're more willing to try things that make you fall
- Make sure your skates aren't too sharp. Duller-feeling skates (i.e. shallower hollow sharpen) are easier to learn how to stop on as you can glide easier.
- Get some speed. It's quite hard to hockey stop when you're learning and going too slow.
- Get down low (i.e. get a good knee bend) and feel your weight through your feet. A lower center of gravity makes skating easier.
- Practice lots. It takes a lot of time and patience. It's difficult in a public skate setting because it's so busy but try it whenever you can get on the ice
- Bonus: try working on both feet at the same time. you'll become a better skater faster if you can stop/start on both sides
