what do you think of the "bear hug hit" to help with hits from behind?

there is a lot of baiting a player into hitting you then turning your back to them to draw a boarding call when they have no way to bail from the hit. if a player simply could make sure the contact was shoulder to shoulder by turning him (which is called as a hold a lot now) wouldn't that help with the situation?

was just something interesting I remember hearing earlier this season.

turns out it's your dad's idea. kinda funny coincidence. anyway could you expand on that?

thanks for the reply. it definitely irks me and I hope that something gets changed since it seems like a recent thing in the last 3-4 seasons to start doing it as often as possible since there's no repercussions for unsportsmanlike conduct.

I don't want to see someone's career ended trying to draw a 2 minute call or have the younger guys coming up in peewee's and bantams thinking that's acceptable or a good idea.

thanks again!
