In youth games, one-handed checks are always illegal, even if they hit the stick. In varsity games, as long as the defender's check contacts the opponent's stick and does not continue up to the head or neck (unlikely here due to the downward motion of the check), it is legal. Officials have the discretion to penalize a player for "swinging a crosse at an opponent's crosse or body with deliberate viciousness or reckless abandon, regardless of whether the opponen's crosse or body is struck." (5.7.1.). Answer File Question Answered Yes No
