Body checking Principles

  • Try to an angle on your opponent
  • Checkers speed must be under control
  • Knees are bent
  • Keep eyes on the chest area of opponent
  • The purpose of body checking is to block the progress of the puck carrier, not to knock him off his or put him though the boards
  • Never skate with your head down
  • Always check with your shoulder

Shoulder Check

  • Keep skates shoulder width apart
  • Keep knees bent with weight on the inside edges
  • Keep head up at all times
  • Make contact with shoulder and side of body into opponent's chest
  • Always remember two steps or less before making contact

Hip Check

  • Your opponent must be on course that he can't deviate from
  • Watch body, not puck
  • Keep knees bent
  • Keep head and shoulders lowered
  • Rotate hips into stomach area of opponent

Checking Along Boards

  • Angle puck carrier towards boards
  • Always keep two hands on stick, keep stick close to the ice
  • Checker aims at hands of puck carrier just in front of body
  • Keep skates moving, until opponent is pinned against the boards
  • Keep body low, legs spread for balance
