Icing Rule Clarification

In an Adult League game last night, one of the refs in a 2 man system made a mistake when calling icing. The faceoff stayed in the zone and the non-offending team protested, saying the faceoff should be at center ice. This used to be the rule, but it was changed 2 years ago. The current ruling is:
Rule 620(f) - If the Officials shall have erred in calling an “icing the puck”
infraction (regardless of whether either team is shorthanded)
a last play face-off (end zone face-off spot nearest to the
location of the puck when play was stopped) shall occur.
The new rule makes sense because that is where the puck should have been and you can not give the other team any advantage by taking the puck out of the zone.
