In hockey, a player is called for "offsides" when they enter the opponent's zone before the puck does. The penalty for offsides is a faceoff outside the zone. This impacts the flow of the game by stopping play and potentially disrupting the team's offensive momentum. Player positioning on the ice is affected as the offending player must retreat to the neutral zone before re-entering the opponent's zone legally.
