It's no surprise why the finest Ice Hockey players in the world are drawn to the National Hockey League: The NHL offers the greatest level of competition!

Just as the best professional hockey players feel challenged only when skating against the best, hockey gamers want to take on the computer game that plays the most authentic version of their favourite sport.

NHL 97 takes all the sights, sounds, and emotions of a National Hockey League season and places them in the palm of your hand with an eerie realism. From players lying down on "D" to block shots to the frustration of a perpetrator sent to the penalty box. From the roostertail spray of shaved ice produced by a quick-stop to the piercing clap of a powerful slap shot.

In the sports gaming world, NHL 97 is the only competition on ice!
