Now, to go to YOUR scenario, do you REALLY think that you can block ALL the entry chutes with a 15" long stick and still be parked outside the Secret Passage the whole time? Nope. You can block one Embrasure and maybe the Brattice. You'll have to enter the Passage to block the other. Also, you run the risk of being ruled as controlling >1 Boulder, AKA a Foul. (A smart HP will be very good at avoiding you, too.)

This discussion has gone farther than the original question with reading the past 5 pages. Yes, launching is illegal still, but pushing the boulder over the 1" divider is not.
We can have hockey stick that is actually much bigger than 15". The frame perimeter max is 120". even with a square frame that is 30" per side. 15" stick/net/pusher/etc. allowed at every side and you're now 60" wide. The passage is 53.5" wide.
Neglecting the contact rules for a moment (since there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus yet). The only thing you would have to watch out for is accidentally controlling more than one boulder.
This is not a true choke hold since you can't take the shots yourself, but until the contact rules are fully understood, you can keep the boulders in play at your opponents side of the field.
