I vaguely recall a rule in college hockey, way back in the good ole days (say mid 60s and earlier) in which the offense was prohibited from throwing checks in their offensive zone. It was called, logically enough, "no checking in the offensive zone." Now I may have dreamt it. It has been 32 yrs since I watched a college live. Anyone out there care to comment on whether this is a figment of my imagination? If it did exist, I don't recall it reducing the violence much.
