@ScottSupak the data source I linked seems to only have extent, so I assume that the answer to your question is YES
Graph of estimates from the model in Trends in Arctic sea ice extent from CMIP5, CMIP3 and observations - Stroeve - 2012 - Geophysical Research Letters - Wiley Online Library.
I added an up to date purple line using NSIDC data. I now think the chance of this happening is very low.
