While reading the rulebook on the plane this weekend (for about 3 minutes before I fell asleep), I noticed in the section under faceoffs where it said you re-face when a player loses equipment before possession is called. I must admit I don't remember having read that before (although it is not shaded so it is not new), but I don't recall ever seeing that called in a game either!
Any thoughts or comments?

Not surprising. Remember that if there is dead ball after the start and before the end of a face-off and position cannot be determined there is a reface. Normally this is if the ball goes oob and it is not know which team touched it last but can be an injury, loss of equipment, or both teams commit technical fouls in which the order cannot be determined.
