Story

The game and game mechanics of ice hockey are largely similar to real life field hockey. The goal for both teams is to hit a black puck into the opponent's goal with a field hockey stick that each player carries. Teams consist of five players including the goalie, as opposed to six players in real life. The players wear skates with which they skate across the icy arena. Each game consists of three periods, with the team that has the most points at the end of the game winning. At the beginning, two opposing players from each team face each other in the middle of the ice rink. There are three types of players - the first is fast, weak and clumsy, but good at defending; the second is average in all characteristics and the third is slow and bad at defending, but very strong, both in body checking and shooting. The arena is constructed similarly to a real field hockey arena. The arena is covered with ice, with a goal on each side of the arena. There are a number of marked areas, including the goal line that the puck must cross to score, the offensive and defensive zones located near each goal, the tee box, the neutral square, and others. Each side of the arena is set up exactly the same. When two opposing players fight for the puck for a certain amount of time, other players join in the fight, which results in the player who loses the fight going to the penalty box for a certain amount of time.
