This is by far the most difficult rule to explain to new hockey fans.

This hybrid icing rule is a nightmare. 35% of the icing calls are completely wrong. The problem is, it is subjective for who the linemen think will win the race. How can "predict" who will win the race to the puck? You can't predict it, unless it is super obvious due to the distance separating the players. For the close calls, they always get it wrong. They need to make it a definitive factor. Like a race to the face off dot, with a line at the faceoff dot. That, or bring in automatic icing.

Such a great job of explaining things. Now explain quantum physics.

Who here from Utah trying to understand this sport?

[@rob6345]

I still don't get it. And what's the point of it? Seems like a pointless rule.

Hmm. If you're rubbish at explaining, why make an explainer video?
