Near the last part of the thread.
The idea of "boarding" is more the distance between players and boards than the check hismelf who is put into discussion. If you're not too close and not too far from boards, a fall of the checked player can be dangerous because of the way his head and upper body gonna hit the boards. This is fr an hockey perspective, where you can check open ice or against board, but not around 1meter near the board.
