I think the next logical step would be to take a page out of the junior and IIHF, a check where the principal point of contact is the head is a 2 minute penalty plus a 10 min misconduct. Hitting properly is as much as a skill as the rest of a players skillset.

Would probably also go a longs way to helping the NHL get serious on head trauma.
