from Pierre LeBrun of the CP via the Globe and Mail,
“I favour the no-touch icing rule, as do a majority of our players,” NHLPA executive director Paul Kelly said Tuesday. “This position is grounded in serious safety concerns about precisely the type of high speed collision that led to the unfortunate injury to Kurtis Foster. The NHLPA has advocated for the adoption of the no-touch icing rule for many years. We intend to raise the issue again via the competition committee at the end of the season.”
Minnesota GM Doug Risebrough has routinely voted against changing the icing rule but now is obviously re-examining his stance given the injury suffered by one of his players.
