Open Ice Checking from Behind ???

[ndirishfighting]

GR has the puck in the DE zone, GR player gets to just above the top of the circles & is getting ready for a clear one timer.

He is getting the puck, yes it is a scoring opportunity but therefore he is fair game, he can get hit, it is in open ice.

I have been around hockey for 29 yrs & still to this day have never seen a checking from behind in open ice, the only way that is called is if it was clear & blatant attempt to injure, which it was not.
