(1) If an attacking player strikes the puck with a stick carried above
the height of the crossbar of the goal frame (4 feet [1.22m]);

This is unchanged (aside from the section change, it's now 20 d, under
High Sticks).

This interpretation is no longer in the rulebook.  It's unclear whether
it should still be considered the correct interpretation of 17 c (1) or
not.
