NHL Slapshot is EA Sports' third ice hockey video game on the Wii, released in 2010. [1] It was the first game in the NHL series since NHL 2005 to receive an E rating, mainly because the game does not include fighting.
Wayne Gretzky is the game's cover athlete. This marked the first time that the EA Sports NHL series featured a retired ice hockey player on the cover as well as Wayne Gretzky's first appearance on a cover of a video game since Gretzky NHL 2006. [1]
A miniature hockey stick peripheral was released with the game, allowing (but not requiring) the player to insert the Wii Remote and its Nunchuk attachment and simulate playing with a real hockey stick. [1] [2]
