In this video we teach you how to do backwards crossovers in hockey. We start with the very basic crossovers while standing still, and then progress to backwards c-cuts and eventually move onto the full backwards crossovers around the circles. This video should help you improve your skating and learn how to do backwards crossovers

I like the dramatic head turn at 5:38 like he just noticed the camera filming.
+Walter Babst me too!
Haha I don't know why that was so funny!
Walter Babst brings I literally clicked on the moment like 10 times lol 😂
I am not a hockey player myself, but I want to improve my skating and eventually try hockey. It's very nice to watch how smooth you guys can skate. Greetings from Poland :) I love this coaching channel
Well, you have the least polish name ever!
You will improve to become nhl player
Badass name
It’s a great sport
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS.! With the price of hockey schools and coaches through the roof kids can save money for better equipment and ice fees while learning skills online. I have been playing hockey for 30 years and still can learn how to develop my game through videos like this.
Its good people like you guys who unselfishly give your knowledge to keep the great game of hockey alive.
Very usefull tips! not only for hockey. I'm skating with rollerblades and is very usefull!
Rollerblades? O.o
Thanks Stephen. There is a good video about positioning called "The Canadians: A defensive positional breakdown". New Zealand and Hong Kong, the hotbeds of hockey!
Thanks! When practicing I recommend pushing your limits as much as you can, reach out as far as you can and really work those edges! Try to get as much power as you can but also don't neglect the quick crossovers. Sometimes 2 fast crossovers will gain you as much speed as one really powerful one, it all depends on the game situation so that's why we showed both.
The way you demonstrate it makes it seem so much easier. C cuts then cross is so much simpler than what my dad tried to teach me. Thank you for videos like these im excited to get back to playing once this virus deal is over
I love you man. Im having good days since yesturday. God bless the world
I don't even play ice hockey but I find this video very helpful for my inline skating.
I never played hockey but I went skating every Friday/Saturday for social skate when I was a freshmen. I couldn’t believe how easy I took to skating. I loved it so much! I started staying late to practice. I found a pair of used vapors in my size at an expensive goodwill in my city. Got them pro sharpened at my local pro shop and molded. I couldn’t afford all the gear for hockey so I ate up the few days I could skate. I still shock myself in how fast I understood it. Fun stuff. Just practice. Practice, practice, practice. It’s as easy as that. For a dude from Louisiana all I did was PRACTICE. it’s fun af because (and this is weird for older skaters) just practice.
Nah, I wouldn't want to bore you guys ;) Glad you are getting lots of help from the videos, it's great to be able to help other hockey players
Thanks a lot, guys. I'm only on my fifth month of skating, but your videos have really helped me out. Keep up the good work!
This is one of the best broken down, simple to understand back crossover. I like how you guys are so casual, keep it simple and strong on a few pointers!
Best tutorial so far, thank you.
My 7 year old kid just started hockey, so I'm trying to learn together with him. This channel is helping a lot!
i always half learned this. im gonna try this next time i play. prolly make me feel more comfortable
I'm mostly a beginner except what I've learned from youtube ...a lot from you... and just trying to have even a tiny chance against my 8 year old son in hockey and thought backwards crossovers would help out but be super hard to do. However, as always, you make the hard stuff seem easy! Put together backwards and crossing over... so simple but I never thought of it like that! 2 hours on the synthetic ice in my garage after the little man went to sleep and I've got it!! You rock! One way better than tbe other, but can't wait to see the look on my little man's face when I bust out the backwards crossovers at puck shoot tomorrow! 😂
a really fantastic video: you guys have broken down the basic movements really well, and I especially like that you've mentioned the quick crossovers and how we can apply them in a game situation.
this is also a pretty good video for roller derby.
i started watching these video's last night because i had ice skating for sport today and i used your techniques because i wanted to do more from just being able to move on the ice. i'm now able to skate, stop and turn with more confidence thanks to these videos thank you...
I’m in the process of learning skating again and I’ve always had problems with crossovers and this video REALLY made it clear for me :) thank u for the upload! I’ll be gladly to watch this over and over again until I can master the crossovers
Thank you for making this so clear! I had a hockey lesson yesterday where we had to try doing backwards crossovers, and the instructor really didn't explain the mechanism. I'm looking forward to showing off my skills next week!
Hey man, thank you for the videos. I've only played hockey for a year now, but you have helped me progress pretty quickly.
Man this is super helpful, I’ve mastered aspects of going forwards, now it’s the concept of backward crossovers and implementing defensive tactics
Thanks! We try to make them very easy to understand so anyone can learn to play whether you play in a league or just for fun during the winter.
These guys are great! For some reason, the way they explain the backwards crossover really sticks. Bravo!
you guys are awesome! i am praticing this move tonight
I've been playing for about 6 months. you taught me how to shoot and basically do all I know to. thank you for your channel. your helping so many kids just like me learn and succeed as a first year. your a great person and thank you so much for doing what you do.
Big thank you for this! This explanation was extremely useful to me
I was a complete beginner to Ice Hockey and your Tutorials have turned me from never skating to now playing in a League! Thanks so much! Ice Hockey is AWESOME!
Shooting and stickhandling are the two things that you can work on a lot at home. You need a spot to shoot and stickhandle so sort that out first. Once you have an area set up try to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to practicing and improving. Make yourself a schedule or checklist to stick to and you will notice improvements very quickly
I appreciated the application to a game situation as well, thank you for the very clear breakdown of skating backwards.
Best demo ive seen so far on youtube.
This was extremely helpful. Thank you
Also useful to me as a rink hockey player...^^ thanks a lots ! Greetings from France !
I want to you by next year!!
I just started taking ice skating lessons. Next goal is learning to play hockey and then playing in a women's league!! Wish me luck :)
yep your tutorials are great! the example of quick feet in a game, as well as the backward crossover transition to forward crossovers i use everytime! works great keeping up the speed.
Ive started plying hockey late... But I have been playing for a year now and these how to hockey videos greatly help improve. Thx Howtohockey!
I've been a hockey fan for a really long time, and this past year I decided to give actually playing a try. I'm a freshman in college, so I decided to take a beginner hockey class they offered at my school. While it made me fall in love with playing the sport and helped me be able to ice skate ok and feel comfortable in gear and everything, I didn't learn much. I really love playing though, so I decided to buy gear this summer and sign up for a local rookie league in the fall. I've been practicing a lot of these videos on my rollerblades, and I went to my first stick and puck the other day, and WOW. Literally these videos are WAY more helpful then the class I took, so thank you 🙏
That's amazing Mackenzie! So glad we could help you out, keep on practicing and playing and you'll improve quickly. Great idea to use your rollerblades as well. We did a rollerblading course on The Pond to show things you can practice on the street that will help on the ice. We also have a few free videos here on CZcams that will help as well.
Separating out the inside and outside leg movements is very helpful
YES! I spent a week watching this video and your other video 😁 now I can
I love the way these guys break this down into manageable capabilities. While I can't yet do a backwards crossover, I can still skate backwards in a circle and work on the push to the inside. When I've got that, then I can easily see adding the crossover. I can really see the progression from component capabilities to the final skill and imagine how I'm going to get where I want to be. Thanks!
Great, easy to understand video. Thank you so much!
Jeremy, thanks to you and Ken for an easy-to-understand video. Unlike other CZcams tutorials, you keep your videos short and focus on the basics. (Which is also a prop to your video filming and editing techniques. :)
I'm a "never-ever" hockey dad and my daughter is playing squirts this year, and I'm trying to improve my own skating so I can keep up with her. Thanks to your help, I got the basic backwards crossover down yesterday.
Great video guys, thank you!
great job!
step by step & keeping it as simple as possible
Thanks for the tips bro! Greeting from Argentina! 😉
Thanks for making such clear, easy to understand videos! I'm a total noob, I don't even play hockey, I'm just trying to become a better skater, and your videos have helped a TON.
Love the videos ! Could you guys make more videos for beginners ? Maybe some basic exercises to achieve muscle memory for backwards skating and crossovers...
It's been 40 years since I've laced up so I'm doing a learn to skate program the Florida Panthers offer. But your videos are great for practicing and picking up some skills/techniques.
Thanks for the slow motion!! and all the explanations.
Thank you. You are a great teacher.
I always turn to your advise because it's easy to follow along and not aggressive
Just yesterday I was thinking about learning these coming back from the rink, and bam, you upload the video the same day :D
Thanks!
AWESOME!
Keep posting the great content
Great Video Jeremy
Great video! you make it look so easy! lol
This is so freaking helpful thank you so much
Great video Jeremy, I really liked your emphasis on getting your 1st leg under the other. My coach would always stress that crossing your feet over 2 inches doesn't provide enough thrust, and that you need to really extend your legs. I'm really enjoying your on-ice videos, keep them up!
Great vid, good teaching
I really like that you incorporate a real application of the technique. I've moved from beginner to intermediate from watching your videos. Although my skating and puck handling and somewhat my shooting has improved, my positioning on the ice during games is one of my weaknesses. Can you do a video on awareness? Help us identify what to do in certain situations. (By the way I'm a New Zealander playing Hockey in Hong Kong)
Great tips.
Great instruction!
i will try this bc i always wanted to ice freestyle. and i have to practise a lot to come this far xD
Keep up with the vids. You guys are the best !
great video thanks for sharing
This helps me a lot!!
No one cares.
Uh oh! The C cut! Scott Grover would not approve! Hahaha great vid bud.
i play roller hockey but i have to say these turorials have helped me alot!
I have no about hockey as not a sport here but this looks very skilful so for that alone I am impressed.
Thanks to this video I just managed to do backwards crossovers, Thanks guys!
I decided to write that this video was excellent at the half way point but then it got even better. Would write more but then it might sound like I have a bit of a man crush. Keep on posting matey, love them all.
Thanks a lot ;) really helped ;)
Good video on crossovers.
jeremy can u film one of your games and put it up on youtube?? and thanks for all the great videos, theyve helped me get alot better
this really helps
excellent try tomorrow thanks
THANKS MAN!!!
You make it look so easy! I can't do backwards crossovers at all
I have only been skating for two years I've teached my how to skate but u haved helped so much
May your English teacher save you from using the letter "U" instead of the word.
So cool thanks man
i came here to learn backward crossovers because im defence, i feel so useless when i cant defend, i cant really skate backwards but i want to learn, this tutorial helped me
Can you do more videos on transitioning from backwards to forwards?
Thanks for the video Coach. I have a tough time with the backwards crossovers. I always feel like I'm losing my balance and falling forward. If anyone has any tips please let me know.
Thank you sooo much
Very good video ;) I like that you show the ony steps. PS: I'm from germany ;)
Yes you are right about the c-cuts, the legs should be doing all the work, stay low, don't bob up and down (another common mistake) and dont zig-zag. In this video though we are focusing on the backwards crossovers, we just showed the c-cuts quickly as a base for performing the backwards crossovers.
Also it's not "wrong" it's just not the most effecient method of the c-cut
I like how your so specific
Those are some small pants there Jeremy haha. Great video though, thanks a lot!
Bruh 8 years ago nice
@@grizzles8476 ikr😂
@@nanawilliams3520 yeah long time
@@nanawilliams3520 you ever think about how we have comment that we made when we were kids... that are years old.
@@grizzles8476 yes
Totally get why Dangle thinks this guy’s a genius. Keep up the great content, you just got yourself a new sub!
You should make a vid on how to perfect your wrist shot!
I find it much easier to teach the backwards crossover starting with an outside foot c push only, progressing to an outside foot c cut/then crossing over the inside foot. The outside foot does not leave the ice. After they have those 2 steps mastered, then incorporate the inside foot reach and pull. The outside foot does not leave the ice, it does a continuous s motion, while the inside foot gets picked up, reaches and pulls. Need to stress that knees need to be bent and it is the body is in more of a chair sitting position. Been teaching it that way for 30 plus years and it works.
Which RS are you using? Great videos!!!!!
Ken's breezers drive me crazy in this video.
Tysm I’m In house league and for me they really don’t practice any defence things and as a defence it’s pretty important to be able to skate backwards.
jeremy i am a really good defence man but I am bad at like deking and sort of bad at shooting do you have any tips on helping it on land
Hey I have a quick question. I've just gotten into Backwards cross overs and I'm getting better at them. However, I've noticed that on various videos some people recommend lifting their outside leg (like your video) while others never have it leaving the ice and they kind of just swivel from a C cut into in a crossover. Right now I'm doing the swivel method and I'm wondering if this is detrimental to performance or if it's more a matter of preference. Great video by the way, really helpful!
Indeed!
I had been trying to improve my crossovers forward but is hard with the “dumb” leg , is any exercise beside the practice that you recomend to improve the not dominant side?
Just thanks a lot
