The most important thing on judging of a hit is charging is looking for the glide and if there is a launch. If the player glides on both skates before initiating the hit, he's okay on part one. If the player does not leave his feet to deliver the hit, he's okay on part two. The player may leave his feet after contact and as a result of this hit (equal and opposite action), but not to make the hit. If both conditions are met, there is no charge.
