Object of the game/game description
Ice hockey is hard hitting, fast-action competition. Each team tries to put
the puck into its opponent's goal. A game consists of three periods, and the
team with the most points at the end of the game wins. When the score is tied
at the end of the three periods, the game is decided with penalty shots. If
the score is still tied following the penalty shots, the game goes into over-
time without goalkeepers.
At the start of the game, and at the start of each period, one player from
each team goes to the center of the rink for a "face-off". From there on out,
it's non-stop mayhem on the ice, a battle to the end. Will you be the
champion?
Please read this instruction booklet to ensure proper handling of your new
game, and then save this booklet for future reference.

Rules of the ice
Icing the Puck
When one team shoots the puck from the position behind the blue centerline
past the opposing team's goal line and and opposing player other than the
goalkeeper is the first one to touch it, the play is interrupted and "Icing"
is called. The puck is then returned to the defending zone of the team res-
ponsible for the Icing for a face-off. Icing is not called when the puck goes
straight across the goal crease or when the opposing team has lost players
due to penalties and thus has fewer players than the other team.
Moving from the Fight Mode to a Power Play
Players battle for the puck by repeatedly pressing the A button. If the battle
takes too long, though, the surrounding players crowd in and start fighting.
When this happens, a player from one of the teams is given a penalty and put
in the penalty box for a set period of time. An attack by the team with more
players is then called a power play. Please note, though, that whereas press-
ing the A button repeatedly makes it easier to capture the puck and also makes
it more difficult to be penalized, the team that starts the puck battle is
more frequently subject to unfavorable referee decisions.
Selecting Your Opponent's Team Formation
If you defeat all of the challenging countries at speed 5, you are given the
ability to change the members of your opponent's team on the Line Up screen.
Perfect Your Flip-shooting!
When you've stored up enough power with the B button, you'll be ready to flip-
shoot. This technique lets you "flip" pucks right through the sticks of
approaching opponents.
