Boarding is a penalty that is punishable by the hockey referee. It means that one player has violently pushed another player into the boundary boards. The referee hand signal for this is smacking his right fist into his left open palm.
It's great to start your kids with ice skating early. It's a skill that translates to a lot of other activities. The best kind of skate to get is the kind that your kid can put your entire shoed foot in and is then you strap them in the front and the back. This is the best because he can basically walk in them which creates a great transition from walking to skating.
