The ice Bleacher Guide
- Blue lines
- Offside: both skates over before the whole puck = whistle. The puck carrier may lead it in.
- Delayed offside
- Arm up at the line: attackers must touch the blue line, or the defense clears it.
- Center line
- Icing: shot from your own half, past the far goal line, untouched. Called at once (no race).
- No icing when
- shorthanded · off a faceoff · opponent touched it or could have played it · goalie plays it.
- Hand pass
- Only allowed when both players are in their own defending zone.
- Whistle at once
- Helmet comes off · puck on top of the net (since 2025-26).
- Faceoffs
- Goal: center. Icing: the icing team's end. Penalties leaving a team short: that team's end.
