Ad for Canon Elura 70 Camcorders Shows Inline Hockey with Body Checking?

Have you seen the ad for Canon Elura DV Camcorders with DV Photo Plus? They show an inline youth hockey game where the father of a young girl playing in the game shoots digital video and digital photos with the same device. The camera featured appears to be the Canon Elura 70, although it is not specifically identified.

It looks like a neat camera. There's one big problem with that ad-- the players in the inline hockey game deliver several bodychecks. There is no bodychecking in USA Hockey Inline at any level, partly because it's much harder to stop on inline skates than on ice skates.

Am I nitpicking?

yes. You're nitpicking.

Hockey without checking is like baseball without sliding.
