These Athletes Forced Their Sports To Change The Rules

Sean Avery

Screening a goaltender is something that was always used in hockey but Sean Avery put his own spin on it. Avery would position himself in front of Martin Brodeur, waving his gloves and stick in the air to block the view.

In the whole play, he never knew where the puck was or what was going on in the game, just focused on being as annoying as possible. Eventually, it was ruled that such behavior was unsportsmanlike and would in turn receive a two-minute penalty.
