If you read that part in Wikipedia again you will see those dates are about the ICESat and Cryosat projects (that are now contributing to PIOMAS).
But PIOMAS has been collecting Arctic ice data since 1979.
For example:

If you don't believe, download the PIOMAS data and check it yourself.

You can see that in your own link.
