About Backyard Hockey

Backyard Hockey for the Game Boy Advance is an ice hockey title featuring a roster of children alongside younger versions of professional NHL players. The game includes representations of all thirty league teams and offers both standard hockey and air hockey modes.

Players can adjust several match conditions, such as period length and whether penalties are enforced. The experience can be further customized by toggling music, commentary, and a fatigue system, while the overall challenge is modifiable through a selectable difficulty setting. Support for saving progress and connecting via link cable is included.
