It's the only video game that my dad played with us, and so I guess that made it special for me.

The actual ice hockey was arcadey but super fun, you could customise your team and it even had scripted voices for each player so you could hear your real name being called out by the commentary. Speaking of commentary it was fluid and really great! I remember picking this game up in a random store and never saw it sold elsewhere, and it was cheap too, unbelievable value and would still play it for some nostalgia and fun even today in 2021.
