Answer 1

It’s to keep the game interesting and fair. Without icing, anytime a team was up by a goal, they would just repeatedly. dump it the length of the ice every chance they got and get the opposing team to expend all their energy having to skate the length of the ice to retrieve it. It would make the game boring.
