Hockey Hero is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Hockey Hero
Choose your hero and compete against 3 fierce opponents in the Ice Hockey event. Avoid the attacking players to approach the goal line. Once in front of the goal time your shot to score! Will you win a Gold Medal by scoring in all 3 periods? Be a Hockey Hero!
How to play Hockey Hero
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls

|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
