body checks
Legal hockey impacts
Body checks are deliberate physical collisions in hockey and lacrosse, where a player uses their body to block or separate an opponent from the puck or ball.
The term extends to any quick physical examination: The trainer did body checks on all the players after the game.
To body check someone is to slam into them this way.
