NHL Hockey is an ice hockey video game developed by Park Place Productions and published by Electronic Arts. Released in the summer of 1991 exclusively for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, the game allows one to two players to play action-oriented hockey matches that include events such as fighting, power plays, and penalties. Officially licensed by the National Hockey League, NHL Hockey features the teams from the 1990–91 NHL season. It was released in Europe as EA Hockey and in Japan as Professional Hockey, with country-based teams due to the lack of a worldwide league license.
