6.3 Icing6.3 ICING
ICING RULE
• For the purpose of this rule, the center red line will divide the ice into halves.
• If a player shoots, bats or deflects the puck from his/her half of the ice (behind the center red line) and it crosses the goal line, play will be stopped for icing.
• If the puck enters the opposing net, the goal is allowed, unless batted with a hand.
• Any contact with the puck after it crosses the red line nullifies icing.
• Icing is nullified if the puck is playable by a player from the non-offending team (excluding the goaltender).
• No icing if the offending team is shorthanded, must be equal or greater strength than opponents.
• Icing is complete the instant the puck crosses the goal line.
PROCEDURE
• Back official indicates a potential icing by raising his/her back arm and verbally communicating with partner.
• Front official pursues the puck down the ice. At the top of the face-off circle, shoulder check and confirm still icing. When puck crosses goal line, blow the whistle, pause, then raise non whistle arm.
• Back official then points to face-off location and proceeds there to conduct the next face-off.
TI PS
• Use verbal communication to enhance signals and communicate with your partner.
• Signal “washout” immediately if no icing, or as soon as nullified.
