The Anatomy Of A Hockey Crossover
Hockey crossovers are some of the most recognizable and fun hockey features to watch and play during a game. They can range from quick stick taps to passing the puck back and forth. And while the moves may vary from one game to the next, the concept is the same: cross-ice shots that end up in the back of the net, usually against the opposing goalie. The term ‘crossover’ comes from the fact that, when you do them, you are crossing one of the red lines that separate the ice into different areas (or halves). In order to do a hockey crossover, you need to coordinate with your intended witness (a person who you want to share in your celebration with you and your family). The best time to do this is at the end of the first period of the game. Your witness should have the puck, or be in position close to the puck, at the time you decide to do this.
The Timing Is Everything
One of the keys to doing a hockey crossover successfully is knowing when to go for it. For instance, if you see that your witness has the puck deep in their own zone and you can’t reach it easily, then it might not be the best time to pull off a crossover. However, if you see that they are skating comfortably in their own territory, then it’s a perfect opportunity to go for a cross-ice shot. You also need to take into consideration where your goalie is located on the ice and how he is playing. If he is a strict goaltender, and you know that he will come after you hard in case you miss, then it might not be the smartest idea to go for a cross-ice shot. In order to avoid any injuries, you should stick to shots that your goalie probably won’t stop. So, if you see that he is looking a little over-protected, then it might be a good idea to go for an under-hand shot, or a shot along the ice. Another important factor to take into consideration is how experienced your witness is in doing crossovers. If they are a very good hockey player and have done a lot of them already, then you can be sure that you are going to have a lot of fun with this. The more you practice, the better you will become at doing them. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from experienced players if you’re feeling a bit hesitant about trying something new.

I’m not saying that you need to steal ideas from other sports to make them happen in hockey. But, it never hurts to have a little inspiration when you’re skating on a frozen pond, or in front of a roaring fire at home. With the right moves and some careful planning, you can be sure that your friends and family will be yelling and cheering for you even before the puck drops. And what’s more, you’ll be doing all of this while having a great time and being able to brag about how experienced you are as a hockey player.

What If Your Witness Is Not Into Hockey?
If you’re trying to organize a wedding and the person you want to invite isn’t interested in hockey, then there are a few alternatives. You could always play a game or watch a hockey movie together before the wedding day. Seeing as how hockey is such a broad topic, there is bound to be something that both of you will enjoy. If that doesn’t work out, then you could always invite a hockey-related guest who is a friend of both of you. There are a lot of pros out there who love the game and are totally down to help you celebrate the big day. For instance, you could ask some of your teammates who are also good friends to come as your witness. Or, if you really want to pull off a pro-style crossover, then you could ask an entire NHL team to come as your guests and celebrate with you.
As you can see, there are a lot of options when it comes to doing hockey crossovers. But, the thing is, every game is different, and you need to find a way to make it work for you. So, instead of asking me ‘how to do hockey crossovers’, maybe you should be asking ‘what are the best ways to do them?’ The truth is there are so many different ways you can do them, and in order to find the best way for you to play, you need to figure out what works best for you, your friends, and your family. And don’t be afraid to try out new things because, as long as you have the puck or are in position to get it, you will always have a chance to pull off some amazing plays. So go ahead and try out some new strategies because, ultimately, that’s what makes the game so much fun!
