NHL disciplinarian and VP of player safety Brendan Shanahan shows the correct way to throw a body check. I like what this video does, it also refutes the argument of the NHL taking hitting out of the game of hockey. That being said, the million dollar question going into the season is, will the NHL have a record number of suspensions dished out this season. Also, the season could prove to be tough if you own a fantasy hockey team, you're going to have to be careful who you draft for your team.
