NHL Open Ice: 2 on 2 Challenge, or just NHL Open Ice, is an ice hockey arcade game released by Midway Games in 1995.[1] It features comically exaggerated hockey play, causing it to often be described as an ice hockey equivalent to Midway's NBA Jam.[2][3]
NHL Open Ice was ported to the PlayStation in 1996, with the home version featuring updated rosters and teams, the Winnipeg Jets having moved and become the Phoenix Coyotes. The game was also released on PC (Windows) in 1996-1997, featuring the same roster and teams as the PlayStation version. The game is an official licensed product of the NHLPA (National Hockey League Players Association).
