What is the difference between, for example, obstruction hooking and a normal hooking call in hockey?

When a player stops the opponent player by foul technique e.g he uses his body to stop the other proceedings then it is called obstruction and the stopped player is given a free hit.

They did away with that in the NHL, bc as you point out, its retarded. There are many types of obstruction penalties in hockey, but they are simply called penalties. Hooking, tripping, interference are the 3 main ones, with non obstruction penalties being ones like elbowing and charging, and boarding.

The whole point of this obstruction call, is just to emphasize the word obstruction. With all these new rules the N.H.L., the N.H.L. has lost it's mind, plus tv ratings are going down. Bettman what are you doing!!

I think the differance is that an obstruction penalty slows down the pace of the game.Not completely sure tho

In the "New" NHL, there is no difference. I bet you could be charged for hooking just typing in this question.
