Hit The Ice

Featuring a cartoonish representation of the sport, Hit the Ice features games with three players on each team . Taito released ports of Hit the Ice for various platforms. Fights are common, though a player losing a fight is not penalized. If allowed to charge and shoot, the shot will hit the goaltender with such force that he is knocked back into the net along with the puck, counting as a goal. For the SNES version the colors were also given city names: Montreal Reds, New York Blues, L.A. The NES version of Hit the Ice was the most unique of all the home console ports.
