i don't think i have ever seen a penalty called on a high stick where the player never got hit..... unless the guy 2 handed and tried to hit the players head like a baseball.. i have seen penalties called in which the ref called it because of the head of the player kicked back out of reaction.. but ya... if you were a ref i am sure you wouldn't call a high sticking penalty on a player if he tried a stick lift, got it up too high but missed the players head.
