Is it me or do refs never call slashing any more? Defenders are always hitting hips, thighs and legs without a flag constantly!
It's the same with pushing. Unless the kid falls down its not a push.
Same with cross checks. Whatever happened to keeping your hands together when checking?
Refs are getting very sloppy and kids are getting hurt. Clean it up Refs.
Do your job. Be consistent. Protect the kids.
I disagree. IMHO the game is softer and less violent them ever.

I agree that the majority of games are not called by the book, but the game as called usually is fine.
Perhaps the rules just need to be updated to reflect the game as it is called and the way people are happy with it.
I propose the below updates so everyone is on the same page:
Pushing is legal unless the player falls.
Checking anywhere on the body is fine. (Opens the market for more hip and leg pads)
Cross checking is fine except to head and neck.
