@DEDLYGOD No touch icing that I believe was pioneered in the CHL but was definitely adopted by the NHL to reduce injuries from chasing the puck.

I'm not sure it is worth it, but it's based upon a line bisecting the faceoff circles.- @VeronicatheCD I understand no touch icing, I’ve been playing and watching hockey for years, this shouldn’t have been called icing bc I beat the defender in the race.
- @DEDLYGOD Paying close attention to who iced it, yes, you crossed that line first so you should have beat the icing. If we draw another line from goal to goal, you crossed into that quadrant at the same time, but the puck had not yet entered that quadrant to make that make sense, even if EA was altering it.
