If broken sticks are a safety hazard then I would think a goalie's use of one would be even more so with players converging and crashing the net.

10.3 Broken Stick – Player - A broken stick is one which, in the opinion of the Referee, is unfit for normal play.
A player without a stick may participate in the game. A player whose stick is broken may participate in the game provided he drops the broken stick. A minor penalty shall be imposed for an infraction of this rule.

i would think that the refs should have called a penalty on the goalie. unless a goalie isn't considered a "player"...
