The icing rule is always one that new fans seem to find hard to grasp initially, I know I struggled a bit with it when I first saw it. It seems like a natural thing to do, you’re hemmed in, just dump the puck as far from your goal as you can, like a centre back in football (I refuse to call it soccer) lumping the ball clear into the opponents half. And sometimes an opposing defender misjudges the bounce and a forward can get in behind for a 1 on 1 with the keeper, these moments can be exciting, I don’t think they take away from the game of football, I think hockey should follow its lead. Removing icing calls would keep the games more fluid, without having to keep interrupting it cos a defenseman has made what I consider a solid defensive play. And it could improve the spectacle, with players racing to get to that loose puck. It’d provide some interesting tactical challenges, for sure!
