About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
Center Ice Hockey is a fast, physical ice hockey game with all you'd expect from a proper PC ice hockey title. Charge up a slapshot, lift a saucer pass over a defender's stick, throw a big hit that leaves someone on the ice and drop the gloves to answer the call. Play a quick exhibition, a 32-team season, or create your own player and build a career across decades of seasons with friends on the same team.
Hockey that plays like hockey
A classic, arcady feel, but with real ice hockey rules and gameplay that PC players have missed out on for decades.
A career you can share
Create a player, assign skill points and if you want, have your friends join your career with their own player and work your way to the top together. Play a good season and you might be selected to play for your national team.
Manage your team in season mode
Play the season mode over multiple seasons and if you want, enable manual management and make the calls yourself: edit lines, hire team staff, draft new rookies and negotiate trades with other teams.
Make it your league
The game features a full team and player editor which allows you to save and load roster sets from disk.

Patch notes November 3rd
- Passing no longer immediately switches the control to the receiver. The controlled player is switched when the pass arrives. This should make completing passes easier. - Added an indicator under the player the pass is being aimed towards, to make pass target selection easier. - CPU controlled players now get open for passes better in the defensive zone. Players should find it much less frustrating trying to break out of the defensive zone. Fixed: - Not being able to click the buttons using the mouse in Trade players window. - Puck sometimes going under the ice for a brief moment on online guests. - Guests being at a disadvantage in online faceoffs. The referee faceoff animation is now synced to play at the same moment on the host and guests. - Switching players no longer has a delay on guests in online play.- CPU teams no longer pull the goalie when the faceoff is in their end.

Other career and season mode updates: - In season mode you can now decide how your team travels. More comfortable options make your team less affected by fatigue during away games. - Injuries sometimes make players miss games now.

Full rosters with line changes are here! You can set line changes to auto, manual or off. In the career mode, if line changes are on you can fast-forward or sim until your next shift. Note that old careers/seasons with only one line rosters cannot have line changes enabled. Season mode has been expanded with team management features and you can now: - Edit lines(even strength and special teams) - Trade players with other teams or sign free agents - Draft new rookies (rookie system can also be set so that junior organizations produce new rookies to teams) - Hire staff - Manage ticket prices - Expand your arena to have more seats Fixes and improvements: - Changing camera settings in-game now show the changes right away without saving. - Puck location indicator when puck is hidden behind the boards. - CPU players a bit better at deking. - CPU players no longer dump the puck in 3on3 OT. -...

- Support for ultra wide resolutions - Small tweaks to CPU player behaviour. They should now attempt to get into positions where passing lanes are open towards them in the offensive zone. - Fixed issue where accurate shots from difficult angles would always hit the post because the shot target was then behind the near post. The shot target is now adjusted so that the player will attempt to aim at the open net.
