That is great. That is the USA hockey rule book.
NHL:
67.6 Disallowed Goal - A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player
who bats or directs the puck with his hand into the net. A goal cannot
be scored by an attacking player who bats or directs the puck and it is
deflected into the net off any player, goalkeeper or official.
When the
puck enters the net on a clear deflection off a glove, the goal shall be
allowed.
The refs I guess saw conclusive evidence that the player directed it in and it wasn't a simple deflection.
