Agreed. Personally I am a fan of hitting and think that the game would be boring without it. but it wouldnt suprise me if your right. The league should obviously try and get rid of the dirty hits and cheap shots, but if a guy is injured on a good clean check, then I see no problem. They know the risks of the game
