Behind the Blue Line

"Behind the Blue Line" refers to a specific area in ice hockey. The blue lines are two lines that stretch across the rink, marking the boundaries for play. When the puck crosses a blue line into the attacking zone (the area between the blue line and the opponent's goal), the attacking team can set up offensive plays. Crossing this line also relates to rules about icing and offside, which are crucial for maintaining fair play. Understanding these lines is essential for following the game's strategy and rules.
