It gets tiring listening to comments saying it's a contact game. Yes it is a contact game, but not slashing to the head with a stick. If you don't think these people don't know better then you don't know the game at all. It's one thing to put your shoulder or hip into someone. and yet another to two hand a stick to the head.

Stop making excuses that "It's a contact game" because that isn't a cause for stick swinging and two handed cross checks. The league needs to clamp down on this and it should filter down into the minor's as well. This game is about grace and skill, not two handed cross checks.
