The short answer: no offsides
The long answer: Rule 6-32d from the 1993 NCAA rule book
If a plyaer legally carries or passes the puck back into his own
defending zone while a player of the opposing team is in that
defending zone, the offside shall be ignored and play permitted
to continue. (No slow whistle.)
