it shows how defensive minded hockey is though.. the object is to not be in the box, the teams that play better hockey would be rewarded by this rule, yet it seems that the vast majority were against it.. it would have been interesting to see how it played out.. they should have used it in preseason games to get a sample set large enough to see how it changed games.  

i liked the idea, but i liked to play the game thinking i was the better player and something like this would be a help and hurt the oppenent.

The controversial rule proposal that would call icing even when a team is
shorthanded, has been pulled, according to the NCAA..

However, the rule will be experimented with during exhibition games.

The rule proposal, part of a complete package put forth by the NCAA Ice
Hockey Rules Committee, was met with fierce opposition when it was
announced, leading to the idea being revisited.
