Review
Standard fiar as hockey goes, though you can tell Sony was trying to take a bit too many notes from EA's NHL Hockey from the Genesis. The game has minimal load time, and the sprite-based characters don't look too bad after all these years. Easy to pick up, and very easy to play.

• This was the first ever hockey game for the PlayStation system.
  
  
• There's no actual stadium. When you tilt the camera in replay mode, there's only the stands and rink; the rest of the background is all pitch black.
  
• Variants, see below.
  
  

Greatest Hits
     This title was released as a Greatest Hit.

No change, or barely noticable difference in load times. Game loaded fine with both options turned on.

PlayStation 2 Compatibility - Smooth
     With the smooth option on, there's a small amount of help in the sprites, and that's about it.
