Hit the Ice: The Video Hockey League

Hit the Ice: The Video Hockey League presents a simplified, three on three version of hockey where physical checking is a central mechanic. The objective remains to score goals, but the gameplay is notably aggressive and disregards standard rules like penalties.

Matches unfold at a fast pace, with players able to unleash a powerful super shot capable of knocking both the puck and the goalie into the net. The available modes include single player or two player exhibition matches and tournaments, with a cooperative option for two humans to play against the computer.

Platform specific features were introduced in other releases, such as a four player mode for the TurboGrafx 16 and a timed goal scoring challenge for the Game Boy version.
