From the rule book:
Quote:
60.1 High-sticking – A “high stick” is one which contacts an opponent above the shoulders, provided their shoulders are at waist level or higher.
Players 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, or accidental contact on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a face-off. 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.

Not sure how they can call that a normal shooting motion.
