It's a lot more complicated for hockey than it is with Soccer for instance. The puck isn't spherical so the chip system would have to be able to account for an infinite number of puck orientations and relate those orientations to the goal line.
Possible? Likely but I don't think it's trivial to begin with and you'd have to have 100% trust in the system.
