EASHL Interference penalties ( or lack thereof )

Am I the only one seeing tons of blatant interference going uncalled in EASHL? This isn't Eliminator either, it's club games. Is it an intentional change or a bug?
Are these incidents somehow being treated as "incidental" contact and thus not being called? Incidental contact has been abused for years to disrupt a skaters momentum, but it shouldn't allow you to destroy an opponent or shove them ten feet down ice.

Right. It's what you, me and everyone does, and I get the necessary evil of allowing it. But it seems like this year incidental contact has gone from a bump to stop or slow down a skater to allowing a forearm-shiver to the face that blows up the other player.
I feel like the mechanic should only allow for minor bumps and stumbles ( like previous years ) and not allow for what are essentially massive body checks.
