Everybody else in Canada has been doing this for years, Don Cherry is a big reason why. Catch up Quebec

When I played hockey, I was taught to get between the puck and the opponent. This inherently means that you will get hit from behind. i would be interested to learn how they will objectively distinguish between the two types of bodychecks.

Don't retreat, hitters-from-behind, reload instead!

There is no distinction. The onus is ALWAYS on the player delivering the check that it not be from behind. We've been calling it like than in minor hockey for 15 years now. Relatively minor contact or degree of danger is a 2 min minor and a game misconduct. Majors for checks from behind are rare, thanks to this rule.
