Be the Referee: Hockey Delayed Offside

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Hockey Delayed Offside - Listen
Bundle up because we are on the ice today with a delayed offside situation in hockey.
During the delayed offsides, the puck is shot directly on goal. Should the official:
► Whistle the play dead and restart with a faceoff from the offending team zone?
► Whistle the play dead and restart with a faceoff from the closest dot from where the shot was taken?
► Whistle the play dead and restart with a faceoff from the neutral zone?
► Or – let the play continue.
If you said let the play continue, you are correct. In this situation, the play should be allowed to continue until all offensive players clear the offensive zone.
The next time there’s a delayed offsides call with a shot on goal, you’ll know what to do.
