The other team gets the choice as to which face-off circle to have the face-off in. The icing rule was introduced in the NHL in September, after it was being used as a strategy to waste time on the game clock.
A simplified version of the icing rule is used in youth hockey that states that icing is called when the puck crosses the goal line on the opposite side of the ice without being touched. Icing will not be called if the puck touches any part of the goalkeeper before it crosses the goal line. Icing is not called if a defensive player is capable of playing the puck but chooses not to.
It is icing if a player on the opposing team touches the puck before it crosses the goal line. Previous Next. Hockey Icing.
Table of Contents. The opposing team would be able to switch on players that were fresh and possibly more skilled than the players that were on the ice — and this would all take place with the faceoff only being a few feet from your goaltender!
This has resulted in players being more cautious not to ice the puck. Of course with any rule change players are quite smart in learning how to adapt to the rule. Instead of icing the puck, players have learned how to perform a little trick that gives them the benefit of icing without having iced the puck.
You will notice that a player will often flick the puck way up into the air and down the ice. A puck that is flicked up in the air will usually not have enough power to get all the way down the ice and past the goal line but it will have enough of an effect to allow the team to be able to clear the defensive zone and make a line change.
There is one time in the game where a player is allowed to ice the puck without the play being stopped: during the penalty kill. A team that is shorthanded have less players on the ice due to a penalty are given the ability to ice the puck in helping to stop the other teams power play.
A power play without the ability to ice the puck is deemed to be too much of an advantage. To make sure the scales are not tipped too much the rules allow a team to ice the puck. This allows the penalty killers to be able to change more frequently and have fresher players on the ice. As well, icing on the penalty kill keeps the flow of the game going. It would be reasonable to think that players would still ice the puck a lot if they were shorthanded — they might not be able to change but at least they get a small rest.
This would create many more stoppages in play, whereas the NHL is always concerned about keeping the game going. The rule of icing definitely has a large effect on how a hockey game is played. One of the most common things to watch for is players trying to skate the puck up and over the center red line. This is termed gaining the red line. This is why you see — hundreds of times a game — a player trying hard just to get to the red line to shoot the puck into the zone.
Yes, a goalie can ice the puck. If the goalie shots the puck down to the other end of the ice like any other player it will still be called icing. No they cannot wave off icing but they can prevent an icing by going out to play a puck. If after three attempts the teams remain tied, the shootout will continue to alternate shots until one team fails to match the attempt of the other.
The winner of the shootout will be awarded one goal. Skip to content Explanation of Common Rules. Closing hand on puck Any player, other than a goaltender, who catches a puck must immediately knock or place it back down to the ice. Faceoffs All players take up set positions around one of five face-off circles on the ice. Delay Of Game The following actions will result in a two-minute minor penalty for delay of game: Deliberately shooting or batting the puck outside the playing area Deliberately displacing the goal from its normal position Failure to provide the proper number of players on the ice surface after a warning from an official or for making an illegal substitution Playing the puck with a high-stick When an opponent bats a puck out of the air with a stick above shoulder height, play shall be stopped and a faceoff shall ensue.
Overtime Any regular-season game that ends regulation play with a tie score will go into a five-minute sudden-death overtime period. Penalties Player actions that violate the rules of the game may be given penalties at the discretion of the officials.
Penalty Shots A penalty shot is awarded when a player is pulled down from behind on a breakaway scoring opportunity or when the net is deliberately dislodged by an opposing goaltender or defenseman. This is a judgement call by the linesmen. In the NHL the defender must touch the puck before an offensive player in order to validate the icing call.
If the offensive player gets there first then play would continue. In many other leagues the icing call is automatic and play is blown dead as soon as the puck crosses the goal line. The race is not to the puck but to the corner face-off dots. If the defending player is ahead in the race to the dots then an icing infraction is called. This is known as hybrid icing.
One piece of hockey trivia related to icing hockey is that the WHA big league from the seventies never adopted the rule of allowing opposing team to ice the puck while shorthanded.
Icing would still be called.
