Boarding (ice hockey)

Boarding (ice hockey)

Boarding in ice hockey is a penalty called when an offending player violently pushes an opposing player into the boards of the hockey rink, when the player is facing the board. The boarding call is quite often a major penalty due to the likelihood of injury sustained by the player who was boarded. However, if no injury is sustained as a result of a boarding, a minor penalty will be called. Boarding is usually assessed to a player when the opposing player is hit 4-5 feet away from the boards and hits his head against the boards on the way down. A hitting from behind penalty is called when the hit results in an injury. This always results in a much more severe penalty and often suspension.

"See also:" Checking

Boarding is a penalty usually granted as (Major+Game). A major penalty is usually between the span of 5-10 minutes.
