If you don’t want checking, play in a rec / house league.

And if you want to hit people in the head, go box...
So what's your point?

Change the penalty if you want to fix the problem. The 2 and 10 is the dumbest penalty for a bad hit. We had a kid get destroyed. The opposing player got a 2 & 10. In the next 15 seconds we got a too many men and negated the penalty. It happened a bunch of times where a serious penalty is negated by an incidental penalty such as a hook, trip, etc...
The Correct penalty should be a 5 minute major and a 10. This way the penalized team is shorthanded for a full 5 mins and any amount of goals can be scored. Also another kid doesnt have to serve the penalty and the penalized player can serve the entire 15.
When the “team” gets impacted for 5, the coach will do a better job disciplining a kid that takes these penalties often.

Propper body contact should be taught from day one. Fewer injured if kids know that contact is coming and they are stronger on their skates.

You sound like someone that has never played. What about a player on the half wall protecting the puck when he sees the D pinch and he turns at the last moment? Is that truly a 5?
