The Canadian rule is that bodychecking is caused by the forward motion of
the defending player.  For example, the defender is allowed to close the
boards off if someone tries to go outside as long as they don't push or
shove the player into the boards.  You're allowed to slow down and stay in
front of the attacker to keep them off the net.  Stick on stick contact is
allowed as long as it's not a violent motion which could be called a slash
even tho contact is only stick to stick.

Subject: Chix with Stix

I believe the original Chix with Stix team was a roller hockey team from
Chicago. They played, and possibly still do, in the NARCH tournament. I
think the star player was Annie Camens. I suggest looking around Andria
Hunters website for more info. If it's not there, then it'll be a tough
find.

Subject: Contact in Non-Checking Leagues

There is a good video that I think is available through the USA Hockey
Officials which demonstrates what is considered to be "contact" vs.
"checking".  My club showed the video last year (or maybe it was the year
before) to give members an idea as to what referees will view as being legal
and non-legal body contact.  The video was made for referees, because body
contact, in some cases, is a judgement call.
