Offside: pass-receiving player is in front of last defender at moment of passing.
Icing: pass, although onside, crosses both blue lines from passer to passee.

That offsides rule is for Soccer - Or… Füt Bòl or whatever ya call it.

Hockey offsides deal with the lines across the ice. If you precede the puck over the blue line in the offensive zone. You are offsides. Or - If you receive a pass that crosses any two center lines before you receive it, you are offsides.

Hey Smug, long time no see… hope things are going well.

Sue - Maybe we can reintroduce you to some High Test the next time we get out and maybe refresh those memories.

A hockey game sounds good to me, we’ll have to pick captains and teams…

Good to hear from you Angkins, it’s nice to know that at least one other person on this board will get my Alpine jokes.
