No, he elevates because you elevate to make a body check. Backlund was shooting the puck so he hunched over. The league has essentially banned hip checks (low bridge). He steps in to stop the opposing player from leaving the zone with an empty net.
Skates are on the ice at contact, not sure what you’re watching.
