Solution
The ball is placed on the 23-meter line and in line with where it crossed the backline when play resumes if it crosses the backline off the stick of a goalkeeper or a defensive player and it is determined to be inadvertent. The umpire will indicate that the 23-meter restart, which is commonly referred to, qualifies as a free hit under hockey regulations.
