In Ice Hockey, hitting the puck from your own half past the opponents goal line.

It's designed to stop the puck being dumped.

The reason I don't think it can just be transfered to bike polo is that courts are smaller, and people like to shoot from their own half (as Emmet mentions).

Also, the punishment in Hockey is a faceoff just by your own goal. We don't have an equivalent in polo.

I wouldn't want to see a reset every time someone takes a long shot.

Also stops the defending team posting a player on the offside line to chase dumped pucks and score from effectively nothing, I haven't seen it but a couple of hockey buffs I spoke to said that icing isn't in lower league rules and it's how many goals are scored.
How about the offside rules tho? Some I think would be really good for polo, potentially stop a lot of dicking on keepers and also create a more end to end game.
