Lets hear what everyone's top 5 hockey video games are.

5. Blades of Steel
How could you not love this game and it's fighting engine. Best ever!

4. NHL 99 (PC)
I don't know what it was about this game but it was the first hockey game I played multiple seasons with. I think it had a lot to do with the ease of navigating the menus coupled with solid gameplay.

3. NHL 94 (SNES / GENESIS)
If this game doesn't make everyone's listed, I don't know what to say. One of the best games to pick up and play with friends.

2. NHL2k3 (PS2)
I picked this as my number 2 because of the gameplay. First hockey game I can remember with excellent puck physics. Goalies were outstanding as well. The game was plagued by the "S" trick though.

1. NHL 09 (PS3 / XBOX360)
I wasn't a big fan of NHL 08 because it ran on 30fps on PS3. Something about that made it unplayable for me. NHL 09 was a huge improvement and still remains the best sports game next to NFL2k5 that I've ever played.

Hi alfordaln,

Great post. I haven't played video hockey games since Blades of Steel and one of the first Nintendo versions with my little brother, but I did enjoy the fighting in Blades of Steel. ;)
