Hockey stop is one of the first tricks an ice freestyler should learn because it doesn't only impress people it's also very important for safety. When you've learned the hockey stop you can easily brake really fast when someone falls in front of you for example. If you want to create more snow flying up I recommend pushing your skate harder and trying to stop within the shortest distance possible.
