Depending on the surface you play on you may be able to do an ice hockey stop. Sport court of something with a little bit of slip might allow you do this. Harsher surfaces will of course shorten the life of your wheels. As another person said about not being as intense you should treat it more as a power turn.
Reply:No, it isn't the same. I played 4-5 years of roller hockey, and when I switched to ice, it was no where near the same. In roller hockey, you have to make a quick turn, which stops your momentum. It is much different then a ice hockey stop. If you try doing a hockey stop, you will just fall down immediately.
Reply:Its kinda like an ice hockey stop but not as intense. Don't put so much force just turn one skate and slowly push it away from you. If you try it like a hockey stop you will either a) end up on your face or B) end up on your butt.
Reply:You can't, really. Drag your toe to slow down or hit something/one. You can't hockey stop or stop ans start quick.

Reply:I find the easiest way is to lift up one foot, turn it sideways so the wheels are side on to the other foot (or most of the way there) and drag the foot gently behind you so that the side of the wheels acts as a brake? With a bit of practice it works a treat. If you do it that way it does wear the wheels down, but if I use the brake on the back of the skate it just puts my balance off!





Hope this helps (o:
