AL MICHEAELS CALLS THE PLAY-BY-PLAY! Brutal Checks. Awesome Stick Saves. 100 MPH One-Timers. This is Hockey With An Attidude. All the hard-hitting NHLPA players. True NHL-style stats. Real ice-grinding hockey action. In this game you're playing for keeps. Control the blue-line with guys like Leetch and Bourque. Blank-'em in the crease with guys like Richter and Irbe. Take it down the wing and into the slot behind scoring legends like Modano, Yzerman, Bure, and of course, Brett Hull. Can you make the cut? Only the stats will tell. Shots, checks, penalties, and passing percentages. Make it or miss, it's crunch time. And this time, it's for real.

It's a good 2D hockey game, and it has Al Michaels commentating on the game.
It's fun to play with friends, and actually holds up well. Looks better than most of its competition from around the same era, but doesn't have some features that the EA Sports NHL games had at the same time. I personally prefer this game to EA's games but it's really a toss up.
That said, this is a much better version of the game than the Genesis version of the game with the same name. The Genesis version has an isometric view unlike the SNES version (which is more like the EA Sports hockey games)
