Correct.
There are cameras in the net etc. to determine the exact time a puck crosses the goal line.
To determine the exact time a puck leave's a player's stick would be very difficult. Plus, how about deflections, does that restart the time of the shot?
It's easy to determine in football when a snap occurs. It's also relatively easy to determine in basketball when the ball leaves a players hands. Not so easy in hockey..
