How do elbowing and cross checking penalties function?
Are they simply random or does it occur when a hit is mistimed for example if you flick up on your stick too early cause your player to reach and land with the elbow or stick only.

These will be called randomly when taking a penalty for charging. You will either get charging, elbowing or cross-checking.
@EA_Aljo are you sure about this with crosschecks? I have gotten them standing completely still however i was interfering with the other player so perhaps they are also called in place of interference.

So, put some more time between shoves and you shouldn't take them.
Also, higher discipline will help take less elbowing pens when charging. If you have low discipline, your chances of taking an elbowing call are higher.
