News - Season Registration and USA Hockey Rule Change New USA Hockey Rule - No More Icing When Short-Handed USA Hockey has modified its playing rules for the 14-and-Under age classification and all younger age classifications (youth and girls) to no longer legalize icing while a team is shorthanded. Beginning with the 2017-18 season, if a team ices the puck while shorthanded, it will result in a whistle followed by a defensive-zone faceoff. For more info on the rule change, see the RAHA homepage news.
