There's no checking, but there's certainly a level of violence. I spent the whole of my last shift on Friday face down on the ice - every time I got up someone slammed me again. Maybe I'm a bit biased but I prefer watching women's ice hockey since there seems to be more skill involved. The men's teams tend to be better but women have to be more tactical.

As much as I complained about the Canada 18 - 0 Slovakia drubbing and I will proceed to complain about the USA 12 - 1 China mauling there was some good to come out of it, namely this stunning goal (may be UK only video). However, the commentator claims it will not happen in the men's games which I doubt. Unless he means that there will be better goals just not that move which would make sense because there are amazing goals pretty much every night in the NHL anyway.
In terms of tactics for hits I understand where May is coming from because there is a lot of jostling and pushing even though there is no checking but I'm not so sure about tactics in general as the attack and defense setups seem quite uncoordinated in the women's games that I have watched so far.
