Previous Incorrect Answer:
it always has been allowed maybe your thinking about Rugby were in that sport you can only pass the ball behind you.
(Mostly) Correct Answer:
I believe the forward pass was introduced in the 1929-30 season (but I may be off by a year). Before that, passing in hockey was like rugby and could only be made backwards.
I also believe the forward pass was introduced to spur goal scoring as scoring was particularly low as evidenced by George Hainsworth's 22 shut outs (out of 44 games) in 1928-29.
