I think that the Rule change is going to make the Game have more stick swinging incidents and cheap shots because the players will know they can take liberties and not have to fight back, or not expect a reaction from the oppossing player...I think you will see a lot of Injuries due to cheapness.... THis is not a good rule at all, I have one suggestion take off the face sheilds because I feel they only reinforce stick swinging incidents.......
