About this game
Ice Hockey puts two teams on the rink, competing to send the puck into the opposing goal. The side with more goals after three periods wins. On offence, use passes to position the puck and choose the moment to shoot; on defence, switch the player you control to try to recover possession. Charging a shot fully produces a flip shot that lifts the puck past nearby opponents. Two players can take opposing teams, making possession changes and goal opportunities part of a direct contest.
