Such penalties result in a player being sent to an isolated area called the penalty box, after which the offender’s team must operate a player short. IMO, to operate is strange in sports, seems too technical. I'd say.

but the sentence was one of the problems that admit a high school student to a college like SAT in korea.
and I know what this sentence means, but I wonder if in this situation, I can tell "when the offender's team must continue,It was a player short."
In other words.
the team must continue a player short = when the team must continue,It is a player short
??

but I don't understand very well your questions, sorry.

>Can I rephrase this sentence as "When the offender’s team continued, it was a player short." ??
Yes, you can. You can leave operated there, but I think continued is more natural.

I believe that would be the use of the adjective short in the context of "less than the correct or legal or full amount."

Should i regard a player short as adjective ?No. It's actually adverbial here. It acts as an adverb of manner, saying how the team must operate. (It does not answer the question "What kind of ....?", which is what an adjective answers.)
How must it operate?
It must operate a player short.

This is better:
When the team plays, we will be a player short.
The whole clause can't be an adjective, so you can't say that we will be a player short is an adjective. An adjective is just one word. But groups of words that act like adjectives are adjectival. (adjective-like).
a player short in the sentence above can be considered adject

Ice hockey is unusual among the major sports in that teams frequently play with
different numbers of players. Penalties are given for various physical
violations that go beyond the sport's permissive rules of contact. Such
penalties result in a player being sent to an isolated area called the penalty
box, after which the offender's team must operate a player
