Here's the situation. Ball is on the ground, someone scoops it and is immediately stick checked. The ball's location is lost to most players in the pack. A player comes from outside the pack and drills any opposing player available, making no attempt to play the ball or block an opposing player so his player can get the ball. This has happened in every game I watched this year and a call was made only once, when the player came in full speed and threw a cross check up under the player's face guard into his throat. The player trotted off the field waving his stick in celebration as the player he blind-sided lay unconscious
on the field. One minute cross checking penalty called.
