Personal review

Shortly after the initial Japanese Famicom Disk System release, Nintendo published "Ice Hockey" in the US. It is a very well playable and fast ice hockey game. The best feature is the free choice between three different player types (slow and strong vs. fast and squishy) for your team. The only aspect this game lacks a bit in is the lack of different competition modes. Maybe the best 8-bit ice hockey game if you consider the pure fun aspect.

Official description

Ice Hockey is hard-hitting, fast-action competition that re-creates all the excitement of the sport from faceoffs to penalty shots. Players pass the puck and shoot to score while using defensive tactics, including fake shots and ice brawls to crush adversaries. It’s up to the player to find the best strategy to win the game – finesse or power.
