Then work on puckhandling while doing a crossover forwards and backwards. Skate around the circles, forwards and backwards with crossovers for the entire length of the ice. Then do it with a puck after you have confidence in the drill.

Get the basics down and skate like hell. That is the only way you will get better. Don't just play pickup. You will develop bad habits. Every time you play pickup, you should be doing at least one sticktime.
There is no substitute for this development if you want to skate well.

Perfect advice. I did stick time on Wednesday here at TSc and I've improved a great deal. I also did public skate this morning and I felt really good. Remember to keep your weight on the ball of your foot when doing crossovers and to lean forward with your knees bent.

skating around the circles is the best drill for speedy development. right now I'm stuck doing backwards crossovers. Very tough.

Hey Leather-boy...

1) Go f--- yourself!
2) Is the advice I'm giving incorrect? Nope
3) Go f--- yourself!

Just giving you crap.

If we come up with a LGK game are you going to play, or just say you will/won't 437 times?

Who's leatherFace? Who is this person..Should I know who this guy is?

haha! yes, in the Fall. I promise I'll be back.

Backwards xovers are really tough right now for me. Forwards I'm decent at them. I can skate backwards without falling, but I'm not great by any means. Weeeeeee!
