There are many types of checking in hockey, most of which are not penalties. However, there are some that will draw a penalty right away, especially if someone is facing the boards, near or on them and gets hit from behind by body check (crashing into the player), or cross check to the back using the stick like a bumper. A player getting pinched between two defenders can happen at the same time, especially if the puck is up against the boards and one defence man is coming from one direction while another is pursuing from the other, it happens.

But, things like cross checking can be harmful and are guaranteed penalties.
