I don't quite get the rules on boarding and charging, but apart from that it's not too bad.

There's a fine line between the two..

Charging can be best described as

Rule 41 of the NHL rule book dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance travelled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice.

Boarding is as follows

when an offending player violently pushes or checks an opposing player into the boards of the hockey rink. The boarding call is quite often a major penalty due to the likelihood of injury sustained by the player who was boarded, and officials have the discretion to call a game misconduct on the offending player. However, if no injury is sustained, then a minor penalty will be called.

It's hard as they keep adjusting the rules due to the speed of the game.. Hockey is the fastest game in the world played by man without a machine.. Improvements in gear and body mass has caused the league to alter some of these rules..
