Hawkeye is a visual system. The puck (or ball) must be visible to enough of the Hawkeye cameras in order to determine its location. It wasn't visible.
The Hawkeye system works in tennis because no one is trying to cover up the ball. The Hawkeye system works in soccer because the ball is large enough that even when it's in a goalie's hands, it's still visible enough to the Hawkeye cameras.
