Rugby have identical Laws for Males & Females.
There is no reason there can't be hitting in Female hockey

I just wrote the reasons. Clear as day. Just because there are the same rules doesn't mean there should be. Just do a google search. Rugby has terrible concussion rates for women....took me about 3 seconds to find that.
This isn't stuff I made up. Just do a little research. High impact contact is bad for women, full stop. If they choose to play rugby, good for them but that doesn't change the facts and the specific fact they are 2 times more likely to get a concussion then men playing the same, but bigger, stronger and faster game.
