Ok, a clarification from Nick Kruse on that:
"To clarify this point, yes it was intended for shots on the ball to be exempt. Much like in hockey. A big slapper is fine, but a mallet above the shoulder to play an airborne ball is not."
Personally I don't mind, as I think face cages should be mandatory, and would always wear one in every game, but I know that's not a very popular view. I predict controversy on this one.
