Icing is a rule in ice hockey that is designed to prevent players from simply dumping the puck into the other team's zone and then chasing after it. The rule states that if a player shoots the puck from behind the centre line and it crosses the other team's goal line before any opposing player touches it, then icing is called.

When icing is called, the play is stopped and a face-off is held outside the attacking zone, usually in the neutral zone. The team that caused the icing is penalized by having to defend the face-off in their own zone.

What are the exceptions to the icing rule?

There are a few exceptions to the icing rule. These include:

  • If the puck is shot from behind the centre line but is deflected by an opposing player before it crosses the goal line, then icing is not called.
  • If the puck is shot from behind the centre line but is tipped in by an opposing player, then icing is not called.
  • If the puck is shot from behind the centre line but is intercepted by an opposing player before it crosses the goal line, then icing is not called.
  • If the puck is shot from behind the centre line but is knocked down by an opposing player before it crosses the goal line, then icing is not called.

What is the penalty for icing?

The penalty for icing is a minor penalty. This means that the player who caused the icing is sent to the penalty box for two minutes.

What is the strategy behind icing?

Icing can be used as a strategic tool by both teams. For example, a team that is leading late in a game may try to ice the puck to kill time and prevent the other team from scoring.

On the other hand, a team that is trailing late in a game may try to draw the other team into icing in Free Download to get a power play.
