Rule 6-12-p: "If the referee or linesman mistakenly stops play, the face-off is at center ice."

The ensuing face-off take place at center ice. Was it the refs discretionary decision as to where the face-off would occur? Do all refs (admitted) mistakes result in a face-off at center ice? It seems to me that the face off should have been at the UIC end because that is where the puck would have been if there was no icing call. Dan Kheel Cornell '94 UoM Law '97
