During the play of the game, a player may not exchange his crosse for another except to replace a broken crosse, but players who are legally on the playing field may exchange crosses.
Anyone else read this and think the sentence contradicts itself?

Players who are legally on the field of play may exchange crosses with each other.
If a player who is on the field of play wishes to exchange his crosse for another crosse which is not on the field of play, then the player must come off the field of play before doing so.
The stick-exchange is thus legal if it is made when the player is in his Bench Area or in the Special Substitution Area.

Rule 59.3 was amended in 2010 to read:Players who are legally on the field of play may exchange crosses with each other.

In fact .... penalty starts once they are seated (if a chair is provided), or kneeling on one knee!
