2004, Bruce Driver, Clare Wharton, The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Hockey, page 81: A smart defensive player knows when to backcheck the puck carrier and when to backcheck to cover an open player.

It’s been a real team effort, a commitment to defense and backchecking by everybody.
To check someone else's work after they have completed it, in a backward-looking type of review or audit, especially one that runs on a backchannel workflow in parallel with the main workflow (and thus is not a rate-determining or throughput-bottlenecking step).
