Body checking is the final step in the 4 step checking progression. A body check can be defined as body contact primarily caused by the movement of the checker. The checker uses their body for the purpose of stopping the attacking progress of the puck carrier and/or to separate the carrier from the puck.

Cool. But in practice/reality, checking predominantly occurs when the person getting hit doesn’t have the puck. Thereby rendering your, and the other nimrods argument, completely invalid. Take a lap you lose again.
