NHL Rule Changes: Hybrid Icing Approved By Players Association, Will Prevent Injuries? [VIDEO]

The NHL Players Association announced its agreement to an icing rule change Monday after a vote in favor of the rule change and the NHL will use hybrid-icing in the 2013-14 season after testing it out during the preseason. The rule change was put in place in order to insure player safety and stave off injuries that stem from players racing down the ice full-speed to try to touch the puck to either negate or force an icing.
