This is true. The unscrupulousness (and stupidity) of some coaches is well illustrated by the history of attempts to cut down on checking from behind in amateur hockey. A rule was brought in whereby a player got an automatic suspension for a check from behind...so the coaches told their kids that if they saw a opposition player coming in for a check they should TURN THEIR BACKS!! Not only is this subverting the whole point of the rule..ir opened up the possibility of very serious injuries to their players...
