Hip Checking

Hip checking is best delivered along the boards. Hip checking is when a player goes into a slight crouch stance and uses his hips against an opposing player to separate him/her from the puck. If you end up hitting them below the knees you will be charged with a penalty of clipping. Remember to stay low and curled when you hit them so you can stay on your feet.

Here are a couple of videos on hip checking.
