why do you need to change your stance?

Bad habits probably. I just started in June at the age of 35, so I have had no formal training, just woke up one morning and decided I wanted to try playing net. When I go down the side of my feet are flat on the ice and I don't rotate my ankle to properly push off. These blades made that very apparent. I think I also have been a little too focused on keeping the pad completely flat on the ice thus not letting me lift enough to get the blade to bite into the ice for a push off.
