After watching the above video it is clear that Hockey Canada would like to eliminate Checking From Behind. Regardless of the player receiving the check turns or not a Check from Behind will be called when contact is made to the back. Players are advised to leave an “out”. Don’t take a “b-line” for the player.
As for the parents who yell at the referee for calling the penalty remember this, when your child is being taken off the ice with a neck/back injury on a spinal board and may lose his/her ability to walk. You may think twice before complaining about the Check From Behind penalty!
