Feedforward control anticipates problems or deviations before they occur, and takes action to prevent them. In this case, the Pittsburgh Penguins organization took action by warning Matt Cooke that his behavior was unacceptable and could not occur on the ice. When he still committed the prohibited action, the organization enforced their policy and banned him from playing. This shows that they were taking measures to avoid such incidents before they happened, making it an example of feedforward control.
