Depending on what side of the ice play was on the recommended position (for USA Hockey), is along or on the goal line approx 10 feet from the goal. So based upon your statement it sounds like the official was correctly positioned.
Had the official been hit with the puk at center ice, Im sure the media would not have cared or even written about it. The same applies in the end zones except, and (again this is USA Hockey)if the puck was directly deflected into the net, the goal would not count.
You can rest assure that if anyone knows less about the rules, let alone positioning of the officials, it will be the media.
