I do think though that one approach is to distinguish the concept of hitting from the concept of checking.
Perhaps indeed hitting needs to go away completely. Hitting is just one type of checking.

But shouldn't you have some sort of input, more than "I think that hit shouldn't be in the game"? You are the one who wants to make the changes afterall, so I would think that the responsibility of laying out some new ideas should fall to you. Discussion would then easily continue from there.
Off the top of your head, ideally what would be an acceptable amount of contact in your mind? Do you want any hit where players are not travelling in the same direction banned? Do you want it like most beer leagues where no contact is allowed? Do you want it a little more complicated where hitting is allowed but "big hits" aren't?
If you really do want to discuss the topic I feel like you should be giving a little more than "a hit like this shouldn't happen anymore".
