It wasn't that ice shinty didn't have *any* rules -- I do believe you
weren't supposed to swing a stick at an opponent anywhere above chest-level,
otherwise you'd be sin-binned for all of ten minutes.
That ignored the puck.
The puck was quite frankly a lethal element.
Really, it was quite odd how many survived, and no wonder ice shinty never
made it onto the Official Roster of the Olympic Games.
Ice shinty isn't, different rules, *quite*, the same as ice hockey.
