Done on the ice, on one of the 5 circles. You start at the bottom of the circle and sprint to the center dot. Stop, crisscross your legs to the left hash marks and then all the way back to the right hash marks. This teaches good balance and proper form when doing cross overs to gain speed. Again, crisscross back to the center dot and sprint to the top of the circle, pivot, and skate backwards to the center dot. From there repeat the cross overs and when retreating to the center circle, pivot again, and back skate to the original bottom part. Here's a better example.
This drill teaches foot speed, balance, and proper form overall.
