A portmanteau of NHL chief player disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan and his subsequent enforcement of league rules.
A player is Shanabanned following an on-ice incident which is often accompanied by a video explanation of factors contributing to a suspension.
Shanaban's have received league wide support in lieu of increasing concussions and blindside hits as well as multiple criticisms for lack of consistency.
