Hand Checking

[carldog]

JRutlege, whose insights have certainly helped me learn a lot on this board, has said recently in another thread about 'Most Overlooked Calls' , that for a hand check to be a foul "you have to have displacement." The implication seems to be that only displacement shows that advantage has been gained.

I guess my feeling is that serious advantage can be gained by a hand check that does less than displace.... (example: a hand check that changes a players balance....or slows forward progress just a little)

I think this may have been discussed numerous times before...and I apologize if it has....but I just want to know: How should hand checking be called at JV and V boys level? thanks!
