NHL Hockey — About this game
NHL Hockey combines a hockey match with options for periods, goalies and line changes. A short game lets you learn passing and shooting before taking on a playoff run. Use the directional pad to shape the attack and move the puck instead of skating straight into traffic. After a shot, watch where the rebound goes; the next chance can arrive before the defense settles. When possession changes, select a defender with a useful angle and protect the route to your net. Adjust the options to practise one part of the game at a time.
