Play NHL 2002 Online
NHL 2002 on GBA plays like a stripped-down SNES hockey game—pick any real match from the 2001 season, trade players, and fire slapshots in weirdly smooth link cable multiplayer.
NHL 2002 came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2001, published by EA Sports. It was one of the early sports titles on the system, arriving when handhelds were just starting to handle polygonal graphics and multiplayer features. The game offered a condensed version of console hockey, fitting full teams and seasons into a pocket-sized experience.
You control a single skater or the goalie, passing and shooting to score goals against the opposing team. The main objective is to win games across exhibition, season, and playoff modes. Signature mechanics include one-timer shots, manual goalie control, and link cable multiplayer for two players. The pacing is quick, with short periods and simplified controls that keep matches moving; difficulty varies noticeably between settings, with higher levels demanding tighter positioning and smarter passes. It feels responsive and straightforward, capturing the flow of hockey without overcomplicating things on the small screen.
