What is the definition of Charging in hockey?
Charging is a penalty called when a player takes more than three strides without gliding to make a hit or leaves his feet to make a body check.
Charging can be a difficult penalty to see in real-time. The league is continually instructing officials to call this kind of penalty as it often leads to injuries.
It could also be called when a player body checks a goaltender when they are in the crease.
