The National Hockey League (or simply NHL) is an association that operates the major professional league of hockey from the United States. In this competition compete 30 clubs, 24 of them are from United States and 6 from Canada. It is by far the most popular hockey league in the world, and it is the dream of any hockey player to play some day for a team in NHL.

Any gamer knows that EA Sports brings the most famous computer games in the sport category. Some of its famous games are FIFA (a soccer game), the NBA Live series (basketball), Madden NFL (American football), Grand Slam Tennis (tennis), Tiger Woods PGA tour (golf) and also the NHL series (hockey). All of these games have a different version almost every year, and their names change according to the year. For example FIFA 09 (2009), NFL 10 (2010), NBA 02 (2002) and so on. Although these games are really cool and complex, you will also have to buy them. Considering that there are many of them, and there is a new one every year, you might say that they are pretty expensive. Like we mentioned in previous articles, the alternative for the expensive games are the free online games.

Unfortunately we didn’t found any NHL free online game. So if you know a site that offers a game of this type, please let us know. But if you are a big hockey fan, it is not necessary to play just a NHL game. The good part is that you will find many free hockey game on the internet, and today we are going to discuss some of them.

Let’s begin with the Polar Hockey game from miniclip.com. It is a quite nice hockey game, where the players are polar bears. The objective of the game is simple: try to score as many goals as you can and defeat your opponent team. The controls are not so complicated: you have to use the arrow keys to move the player in all the directions, the Z key to pass or swap player and the X key to shoot. During the game you will hear some nice music, and the bears will roar really loud when a team scores a goal. So enjoy it!

Another hockey game from Miniclip is the “Electro air hockey”. Here you have to hit the puck into your opponent’s goal to score points. The first person to reach 7 points is the winner. When beginning a new tournament you can first choose your character. There are both boys and girls, each one with a different look, age, and origin. You will control the mullet using the mouse and you have to hit the puck to make it go into the opponent’s goal. You can move the mullet only into your half of the terrain. The puck will gain speed fast, and it will suddenly change directions, so be very careful and think fast. Sometimes if you lose the puck it can even go into your own goal, scoring a point for your opponent. After you defeat a player you will move on to the next one. And you will also gain a password, that you can use to play directly from where you last advanced, instead of taking all the game from the beginning. When advancing to a new opponent the color of the table will also change. Just like the real version of the game, the online version is also really fun to play.

There are just 3 hockey games on the miniclip site, and the last one is called “Hockey showdown”. It is quite similar to the first game that we presented, only that in this game you will play with real humans and not with polar bears. The controls for this game are also different. You have to use the same arrow keys to control the player but you have to press the W key to pass or steal the puck, the Q key to shoot or make a body check. The E key is used for speed burst and the space bar to select the closest player to the puck. They may seem complicated, but after you learn them it will be really simple. There are two teams to choose from: Canada or United States. The United States team will have blue equipment, while Canada has red outfits. Until you begin the game you can also make some setups to the game, such as change the length of one period, change the difficulty, the graphic detail, the off-side, 2 line pass or penalty. The music from the game is nice, but that loud sound when scoring a goal can be annoying. The game looks quite nice, and it is fun to play. And let’s not forget that it is absolutely free, so any hockey fan should be pleased with it. Have fun!

These were just some free online hockey games, and of course there are so many more others. Just search for them and you will find them. And if you find some games that are really good, you can share them with us too. Good luck!
