You should come play in the Coral Ridge Ice Arena hockey league in Coralville, IA. It's technically "no-check" but allows incidental contact as long as the objective is the puck.
The X-factor? Referees who have never played hockey and have no idea what they're doing. The result is a lot of big hits in every game. My wife is constantly bugging me to quit because she thinks the league is a little "bush league" in that regard, with frustrated teams headhunting, and bigger guys looking for that open-ice hit knowing that there's only a 50/50 chance that the ref will call a penalty.
Once I got drilled behind the net, stood up to shake the mothballs out of my head.... and then promptly got sent to the box for Charging because I "left my feet." Of course I left my feet! I got clobbered by a much bigger guy! I left my feet in the act of falling on my ass!
Anyway--sounds like a great league for someone who likes hitting, right?
