Crosbie began his career in 2001 with the Rochester Knighthawks, then played with the Montreal Express in 2002 (where he holds the franchise record for penalty minutes - the team's only year in existence).[1] In 2003, he was picked up by the Buffalo Bandits, where he played for three seasons before joining the Arizona Sting in 2006. The Bandits traded to re-acquire Crosbie just before the 2006 NLL trade deadline.,[2] where he played through the 2007 season.

In July 2007, Crosbie was traded to the Philadelphia Wings in a three-team blockbuster trade.[3] In one season with Philadelphia, Crosbie set a career high in assists with forty. Prior to the 2009 NLL season, after playing nine seasons in the league, in five different cities, Crosbie signed a two-year contract with his hometown Toronto Rock as an unrestricted free agent.[4] [5]

During the 2009 NLL season, he was named a reserve to the All-Star game.[6]

In the summer of 2009, Crosbie was released from the Toronto Rock and he is currently a free agent.[7]
