Morphology
icing = ice (opaque) = ice + ing
Although morphologically 'ice' + '-ing', the hockey-specific meaning (the rule/infraction) is a specialized, conventionalized sense not predictable from the everyday meaning of 'ice'.
Etymology
The hockey word icing comes from the game on the ice and means shooting the puck all the way across the ice past the opponent's goal line. A helpful way to remember it is to think of 'icing' as sending the puck along the ice to the other end.
