yeah when I was looking it up a few NHL articles came up... what is icing in hockey? One of the articles said something about it breaking some dudes fibia or something... :S

Adam Goodes has an ice bath every half time. Icing up during a game isn't unheard of, you just have to get yourself warmed back up.

so it is a thing? what benefits does it have though?

Icing is when you hit the puck from your own blue line in behind the opposition's goal to avoid the pressure that is being put on.

ahhh so it's like taking the ball over for a behind in afl (like, obv. different, but the same principle?)

What benefits it has, I can't say. I would be seeking professional advice before doing this kind of treatment. Whilst I agree with the earlier posts about your body wanting to warmed up, I can see some benefits from icing the body, especially to previously damaged areas.

Yep along the same lines as that.
