bodychecking
Shoulder into opponent
Bodychecking is the act of using one's body to block or knock down an opponent, especially in hockey and lacrosse.
It's a legal defensive tactic when executed within the rules—targeting an opponent with the puck or ball.
Outside sports, bodychecking describes any deliberate physical collision: He bodychecked me into the wall on his way out.
