There are many types of checking in hockey, most of which are not penalties. However, there are some that will draw a penalty right away, especially if someone is facing the boards, near or on them and gets hit from behind by body check (crashing into the player), or cross check to the back using the stick like a bumper. A player getting pinched between two defenders can happen at the same time, especially if the puck is up against the boards and one defence man is coming from one direction while another is pursuing from the other, it happens.
Really sorry to hear about that. I hate to see anyone get hurt, and would hope that this accident was a fluke, not two kids taking another out. I sure hope things work out and the young man heals.

Hip checking, poke checking, body checking if not overdone, fore checking, lift checking, and many others that are harmless ways of letting a player know that he doesn't have free run. But, things like cross checking can be harmful and are guaranteed penalties.
Hawks are up 1 - 0 over the Flyers right now with 7:00 in the first period. Hockey, only sport in the world as far as I'm concerned.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
