Hockey Canada has been openly talking about getting at the private leagues for years, but I don't know why it what power they have to do so either.

As for liability, with all the potential lawsuits from concussions, what would it do for a small league who opened a checking league due to the other leagues stating their concern for serious injury and going non body checking?
