NHL Hockey (titled EA Hockey outside North America) is an ice hockey video game by EA Sports. Released in 1991 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, it is the first game in the NHL series.
Glenn Healy, who was then a goaltender for the L.A. Kings, appears on the game's box cover art.
Mega placed the game at #2 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.[1] According to Maximum: "A previously under-exposed and almost unheard of sport this side of the great divide, the original NHL on the Megadrive was a benchmark title and thanks to the reputation of John Madden Football and an excellent review in Mean Machines, it became an instant classic."[2]
