Game Introduction

Your team is made up of four of the best players. You pick two of three offensive players and then you are assigned the goalie. Between periods you may rotate the lineup.

Stats are kept throughout the game and video movie clips are also played. Players may choose to insert their initials and birthdate to keep track of scores and stats.

There is the classic "On Fire" mode which is a bar that builds up with every steal, check, and goal until you are finally on fire, which gives you unlimited Turbo.

Game Play

The object of the game is to score the most points. You can control speed and angle of your shots by holding the Shoot button and opponents can be checked by pressing Pass and Turbo. The goalies are controlled by the CPU and can be tough. There are no penalties here so it is a fight to the finish.
