American Hockey League Board of Governors Extends Test of Icing Rule
Published on November 20, 2012 under American Hockey League (AHL) News Release
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... American Hockey League President and Chief Executive Officer David Andrews announced today that the league's Board of Governors has voted to continue the current test of AHL Rule 82 ("Icing") until the resumption of play in the National Hockey League, at which time it will be reconsidered by the AHL Board.
At the request of the National Hockey League, the AHL Board of Governors in June approved a test of a variation of Rule 82 that, in the event of a potential icing violation, completes the play should a defending player be the first to reach the end zone face-off dots and provided the puck will cross the goal line at that point.
The test of the rule had originally been in effect until Nov. 19, at which time the Board was to consider its continuation.
