only one thing to do in that situation... play the body and push them into the wall. think in real life games the whole snow-coning the full length court wouldnt work but i definitely dont think that flare should be taken out the game.
ive never work a facecage or a helmet (except tournament) and have only ever been hit in the face once and it was a follow through. no amount of high sticking rules or slashing rules will make it any safer! this is what ice hockey says an it works kinda perfectly
60.1 High-sticking - A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height of the opponent’s shoulders. Players and goalkeepers must be in control and responsible for their stick. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through of a shooting motion. A wild swing at a bouncing puck would not be considered a normal windup or follow through and any contact to an opponent above the height of the shoulders shall be penalized accordingly.
