Hockey is boring if people just shoot it to the opposite end to kill time. Thus, there is an icing rule.

If you shoot the puck, and it crosses the middle (red) line, a blue line, then the skinny goal line (also red), and the first player to it is the team whose goalie is at that end, it is icing.

It is NOT icing if it is touched after it crosses any of those lines, or if the opposite team reaches it (opposite to the goalie at that end).
