Ice Hockey is a 1988 game published and developed by Nintendo based on the sport of the same name. It was originally released in Japan for the Famicom Disk System, and was later released in North America and in some PAL regions for the NES. It was later re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console service in Japan, North America, and some PAL regions.

The play and mechanics of Ice Hockey are mostly similar to that of ice hockey in real life. The arena is similarly designed to a real-world ice hockey rink, coated in ice, with a goal on either side. The objective for both team is to hit a black puck with a hockey stick that each player carries into the opponent's goal. Each game is made up of three periods, with the victory going to the team who has the most points at the end of the game.

Teams are made up of five players including the goaltender, as opposed to six in real life. Teams are composed of different combinations of light, medium, and heavy skaters. If two opposing players fight for the puck for a certain amount of time, other players join into the fight, resulting in the player from the losing team in the fight to be put in the penalty box for a period of time.
