NintendoAge 2015 Weekly Contests Presents: Ice Hockey
Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests! In honor of the start of the 2015-16 NHL regular season this coming week (the official start is October 7), we will be playing an NES classic: Ice Hockey. Here are the rules:
The contest ends Sunday, 10/11/15 at 11 PM NA time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun
1 player only
Choose USA as your team and Canada as the CPU team
Play on Speed 1, Time 7
Choose whichever size players you want
Play a whole game and at the end, take a picture of the score
Your score will be the differential between your score and the computer’s score
In the event of a tie, whoever has scored more goals breaks the tie (ex. Two people tie with 5. One person has scored 10 goals, while the other one has scored 15 goals. The 15 goal scorer takes precedence).
Greatest differential between goals for (goals you scored) and goals against (goals you allowed) wins. A positive score takes preference over a negative score (ex. A differential of 10 takes precedence over a score of -20. Purposely losing to the computer by 20 goals does not give you a better differential than a person who beats the computer by 10 goals. Positive scores take precedence over negative scores regardless of differential).
Ex: USA 10 Canada 5 = score of 5
Ex: USA 5 Canada 10 = score of -5

Thats what she said.
10-3 win

I scored 61 the last time we played this back in 2013, but I'm not sure that I've got enough time this week to try and beat it. I guess 47 isn't bad to start with just in case.
This is my favorite 2-player sports game on the system. If only there was a way to play against each other online. C'mon Bimmy get on that!
I've only played a 2 player game once. For some reason I can't get anybody to play me...

Don't take your pants off while your playing next time.

I wish I had a clever response for that, but there are just too many to pick from!
Thank you very much for clarifying this for me this time!!

Lol, my mom has never played you in Ice Hockey or any other NES game. Leave her outta this!
Sorry for the terrible pic, hopefully its just a place holder anyway. I'll be happy to break 45 this week.
Are you sure that you don't want to shoot for breaking my old 61 goal score?

No, I don't think so... I'm going for a casual participation score this week. Its gonna be someone elses job to take the belt away from the champ.

Hopefully I can make a run at my old score, but averaging 3 goals per minute isn't exactly easy.

Maybe Vectrex will sashay his sweet little Swiss ass in here this week and give you a challenge. The Swiss love hockey... and 8-bit cock and balls apparently.
This was my first time playing or seeing this game. I got an amazing score of -12 (USA: 1, CAN: 13) LOL. How I wish I had captured that!
It's not easy to get a score pic, it seems. The score flashes (?) and it doesn't last too long. Be ready!

You can pause the game as soon as it's over to get your score. Even though it flashes, you have about 10 seconds while the winning team is celebrating to time it right.

Thanks, bearcat-doug. This will prove helpful in capturing those special moments where the CPU pummels me

No problem! If it makes you feel any better, I'll try and see if I can pummel the CPU even worse.
Might have to give this one another go!
You already have a 2015 sports genre icon, so feel free to take the rest of the week off!

You have a pretty healthy lead there. I don't think I'd stop you from getting it by beating you this week.
