| Correct Call: | The first check lands high, the second lands on the glove. The first check could be called a slash. The velocity is right on the line, and the location is in slash territory. | |
| For this to be a definitive penalty: | More velocity needed. | |
| For this to be a definitive NO call: | Less velocity needed, or have the first check land on the glove or stick. | |
| Game Level: | This could be called a penalty on lower tiered games or to tighten up an out of control game. |

Over and Back, maybe offsides

Head to head Contact while playing defense

Crosscheck to head while falling
