"Major Penalty - A major penalty shall be imposed on any player who injures an opponent by "hooking" (see 55.4). Game Misconduct - When a major penalty has been assessed for hooking as a result of an injury to an opponent, a game misconduct penalty must also be assessed." First time I've heard of it too
Interesting... That being said I'm 99% sure it's not possible in the game...
The only way I could see someone getting injured from a hook would be if it was to the face/neck (which would be a high stick) or by tripping them up into the boards (which would be a trip)... Hooking someone just slows them down so I'm not sure how you'd hurt someone with a hook.
