1 Leadership Body Checking Female, Atom and Below

2 Rule 6.2 (b) – Body Checking
Female, Atom and Below Minor penalty, or at the discretion of the Referee, a major penalty and a Game Misconduct based on the degree of violence of the body check or if an injury results. Must be the result of an intentional act to body check, bump, shove or push an opposing player A body check results when a player changes direction to go in the opposite direction of an opposing player. Body contact must be the result of the movement of the offensive player The problem with the highlighted portion of the rule is that we do not always drop the puck at the offending team’s blue line. Some of the examples are correct according to Hockey Canada interpretation of the rule but can not be justified by the wording of the rule.
