A scratch is a player who doesn't dress for the game and sits in the press box or watched the game from his hotel room.

Don't dress him, he sits on the bench and doesn't play.
Healthy scratch means he's healthy buuut he's still on the bench.

"Ice" hockey is a bit redundant. (I know, there's
field hockey). But it's like saying "grass football",
or "floor basketball."

He's left off the starting roster, healthy or not.
