What is Slashing?
'''Slashing''' is an illegal [[hockey]] or [[lacrosse]] play. A [[referee]] calls slashing when a player swings their [[hockey stick]] at an opposing player. Slashing is called whether or not the player is hit with the stick. It can also be called if a player breaks an opposing player's stick with their own. The [[penalty]] can be small or large. It often depends on how badly the opposing player is injured. {{Sport-stub}} [[Category:Hockey]] [[Category:Lacrosse]]
