"I don't understand Hockey. I can't figure out the rule if there are any. What is icing anyway?" In a nut shell, it's when you shoot the puck from your own side of the red-line and it goes all the way down the ice and across the opponents goal line(not in the goal-that's a goal). I decided to look at my "Referees Case Book/Rule Combination" from Hockey Canada; Rule 10.5-a,b,c,d,e,f, with 17 different situational references. It's no freakin wonder people who don't play hockey find it so hard to understand the rules of the game!
