Of course, this is the first hockey video game ever. Technically it uses the same cartridge as Tennis, Baseball, Football, etc... Plastic overlay and game rules differ though.

As usual with the Odyssey, you have to make your imagination work and do part of the job, as the system is only "providing" 2 players, a ball and a net. You have to keep your own score and decide if a goal is valid or not according to the rules described in the manual.
