Pro Hockey is the 1992 Japanese localization of Electronic Arts’ pioneering Sega Genesis sports title, originally released in North America as NHL Hockey. Developed by Park Place Productions and published in Japan by Electronic Arts Victor, this version replaces the licensed NHL franchises with international teams while retaining the fast, aggressive 16-bit gameplay that defined the series. Known for its vertical camera perspective, hard-hitting checks, and the ability to drop the gloves for full on-ice fights, it remains a landmark arcade-style sports game.
How to Play
Take control of your chosen national team and outscore your opponents through rapid passing, blistering slap shots, and heavy body checks. The game uses standard Sega Genesis controls in your browser:
- D-Pad (Arrow Keys): Move your active player
- A Button (Z): Switch players (defense) / Pass the puck (offense)
- B Button (X): Speed burst / Body check
- C Button (C): Shoot the puck / Hook
- Start (Enter): Pause the game
Tips for Pro Hockey
- Master the one-timer: Pass the puck across the slot and immediately press shoot before your teammate catches it for a lightning-fast, high-percentage scoring chance.
- Use the speed burst: The B button gives you a quick acceleration boost, which is crucial for breaking away from defenders on offense or catching up to puck carriers on defense.
- Win the face-off: Timing is everything on the draw. Wait for the referee’s arm to drop before pressing the pass button to win possession.
