Under the old version of the rule, if a player's skate was raised off the ice but still within the boundaries of the opposition's blue-line, he would be offside. Now, however, as long as a player's skate has yet to break the "plane" prior to the puck crossing the leading edge of the blue-line, he is deemed to be onside for the purpose of the offside rule. Whether the skate is on the ice or not is no longer relevant.
