No, they can't. Much like with missed goals, once the next play started, they can't go back.
So you're saying that a player could theoretically hang back and deliberately slash, spear, cross-check, board, punch, or abuse an official, and as long as no official sees it happen with their own eyes, then they can't actually eject the player from the game?

I find it hard to believe that if a player was thought to be deliberately assaulting officials, that they wouldn't remove the player from the game regardless of whether it was behind the play enough to not be seen.
