I can't remember which team it was, but I remember watching them play the Radpolo team. They were sitting an offensive player next to the goalie and constantly hooking the mallet of the goalie, even when they weren't attacking. I thought that banning the second stationary player in the crease was supposed to reduce this style of play?
In any case, it makes more sense to say that only the goalie can be stationary in the crease, it strikes me as considerably easier to ref effectively.
