The Backyard Kids are back again-- this time at the hockey rink! You can create players or select from the Backyard gang, which includes both neighborhood kids and mini versions of real NHL pros. Next, you'll choose from eight different rinks and pick what type of game to play-- single or season. The game has a well-designed learning curve; the game is easy to get started with but tough to master. It's also very fun. A practice option helps you learn how to control your player's skating and shooting, there are one and two player modes, and there's even an air hockey table for extra action. The graphics and sound effects are super, and secret coaches and rinks can be unlocked. This is a great program.
