I hope they take into consideration whether a player lifts an opponent's stick into his own face and negate the penalty.

never gonna happen. you are responsible for your stick at all times. this is true at every single level of hockey from mites to the NHL.
99% of all high sticks are careless/accidental. if you high stick someone on purpose your punishment should be much more than 2 or 4 minutes in the box. below is a prefect example of an "on purpose" high stick:

How much does this really improve the safety? "If one less player gets injured" outlook does not seem like a good barometer for whether a rule change should be made.
