Play Pro Hockey (Japan) Online

Pro Hockey for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) was released in 1990 by Sega. It was one of the earlier hockey games on the platform, arriving before the more simulation-focused titles that would follow. The game offered a straightforward take on the sport, without the complexity or licensing of later releases.

You control a team of five players, skating up and down the ice in an attempt to score goals. The main objective is to outscore the opponent within three periods. Signature mechanics include body checking, which sends players sprawling with a satisfying thud, and a simple passing system that requires careful timing. The pace is fast, almost frantic, with the AI applying constant pressure; mistakes are punished quickly. It feels like a rough, unrefined scramble where every possession matters.
