    I was pretty angry about this one. To me, it seemed pretty cynically targeted at a player just coming off the ltir:

    “Fecteau was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for an illegal check to the head at 17:48 of the first period on opponent Mikyla Grant-Mentis. In their review, the Player Safety Committee determined that while the head was not the main point of contact, Fecteau delivered a dangerous body check with no intent to play the puck when she had ample opportunity to do so, and with sufficient force that warrants supplemental discipline,” the PWHL wrote of the incident.
