Let me just say, hockey is an incredibly difficult game to officiate. The game is incredibly fast, with large human beings skating around at high speed, wearing baggy clothing and carrying weapons made of carbon fiber and wood while they try and fire a little piece of vulcanized rubber at over a hundred miles per hour. All of that creates a difficult scenario to accurately call a game and notice when there is some form of illegal play happening. It is no surprise, then, that diving and serious embellishment made their way to the hockey game. Some times, it can be the only method you can use to get the attention of the referee. In hockey, embellishing seems to be called roughly the right amount of time. There's still times when they miss it, or occasions when an embellishment call is made when it is actually not warranted. But due to the speed, violence, and momentum of the game, the referees and officials are doing the best they can.
