As far as the future of bodychecking goes, Lindros would be a bad person to be championing personal responsibility and general awareness of your own surroundings as a necessary requirement for reducing contact-related injuries. So it isn't surprising the doesn't advocate for that.

Also, the concussion incidence rate in women's hockey is pretty much the same overall as it is men's. e.g.: 1, 2. So removing bodychecking isn't a solution, even if Ken Dryden insists that we must do something for the sake of doing something.


That said, one of the easier ways the league has to slow the game down is to bring back the two line pass rule.
