It's when someone jabs you with the blade of the stick. It's sort of like butt-ending someone, which is a penalty too. Players can get injured by this.

Stabbing someone with the blade of your stick. Its almost always intentional since its kinda hard to stab someone with that end of your stick by accident. It carries an automatic 5 minute major penalty and a game misconduct (unless your last name is Blake)

When you hit someone with the blade of the stick, it's called slashing. Spearing is when you hit them with the handle - end first.
This is wrong. What you've described is "butt ending". The earlier posters' explanations are correct: spearing is stabbing someone with the blade of your stick.

I think the answer above me is right. I've also heard the term spearing used to describe driving your helmet into an opposing players chest.

It's jabbing someone with the blade of the hockey stick...very painful if done in the right place.

Shoving the stick, end first, into the body of an opponent; the handle end.
