The hybrid release in force this season in the NHL
The hybrid release will be in effect from the start of the 2013-14 regular season after the settlement has been approved by the players, confirmed deputy commissioner Bill Daly aired on NHL Live.
The NHLPA has accepted the amendment to the regulations that will call an icing relying on an imaginary line drawn at the height of the circles in play rather than the puck. This regulation was tested during the preseason this year. The aim is to prevent serious injury, such as forcing the defender Carolina Hurricanes Joni Pitkanen to miss all of last season.
"I think it's good. It will allow the race (for the puck) to finish a little further away from the ramp, said winger Toronto Maple Leafs James van Riemsdyk. Once they have decided they call icing or what they want, it will give more time to react. "
Pitkanen fractured his left heel at eight locations in a race for the puck icing situation in April. This is similar to that suffered by former Washington Capitals forward Pat Peake, whose career ended shortly after injury.
Players have expressed doubts about the hybrid release, especially the reluctance or ignorance of the law by the linesmen must make the decision.
"The natural reaction is to say" Oh, we do not like it, "said head coach of the Calgary Flames Bob Hartley. If the hybrid release prevents injury this season, ç'en worth it. "
