| Correct Call: | Tripping. 1 minute personal foul. This one is nuanced. Because the defender’s check first lands on the shoulder and never contacts the stick, and then trips the player, this should be tripping. In real time, this particular scenario will be really hard to distinguish between legal and illegal.

| For this to not be a penalty: | The initial check needs to get stick first. If he gets stick first, and the follow through ends up tripping the offensive player. No foul. | |
| Game Level: | This should be called at all levels, but a case could be made to allow this on upper level games. | |
