I don't think so.. If anything they could maybe reduce the time they fought so fights woudnt be too long, but fighting is one of the things lots of fans love about hockey and without it hockey wouldn't be the same
Checking in hockey is not allowed at all in women's leagues or in leagues where children play. In men's leagues, checking is generally allowed as long as the players are not checking from behind, charging, or throwing another player into the boards.

More checking is allowed as the players get older. The adults get away with more than the five year olds. But even the adults can't do huge checks like in Ice Hockey. It is just a bit less.
in pewee is when checking starts
It depends. In men's ice hockey you are allowed to hit people. In woman's ice hockey you can get a 2 minute minor penalty for body checking.
