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.

YES! If you want to watch no contact hockey, the cable channel vs plays pro inline hockey from time to time. Besides the surface, that is easily the largest difference between the sports.
