Meet the components
Every card has one job. Together they create the flow of a complete hockey game.
01 · Player card
The player’s base scoring percentage.
Added during the scoring calculation when this player takes a shot.
Add the two matching-colour dice, then use the different-colour die to choose the ODD or EVEN result.
Apply the goalie modifier to the shooter's Final Scoring Rating.
02 · Goalie card
The season statistic used to rate the goalie.
The goalie has one modifier. Apply it to the shooter’s Final Scoring Rating.
The card keeps the save calculation visible beside the rink.
03 · Action card
The top number identifies one of the six Pull-the-Goalie markers.
The large center position identifies the skater involved in the next action.
The bottom number identifies one of the four shorthanded markers.
04 · Power Play card
Use the A, B, or C card shown on the attacking team’s Team card.
Read the matching-colour dice total from 2–12 and use the different-colour die for ODD or EVEN.
Shots, passes, rebounds, penalties, injuries, and line changes remain in play.
05 · Shorthanded card
Match the A, B, or C grade printed on the defending team’s Team card.
Use the matching-colour dice for the total and the different-colour die for ODD or EVEN.
When CLEARED appears, the penalty killers send the puck out of danger.
06 · Team card
The card identifies the team and the historical season being replayed.
One-man, two-man, and shorthanded ratings select the correct special card.
The A, B, or C grade selects the team’s column on the Penalty Chart.
One complete play
This example connects the Action card, player card, goalie card, and Scoring Chart.
The Action card shows C, so Boston’s center Adam Oates becomes the active player.
The matching-colour dice total 7. The different-colour die is ODD. Oates’s 7-ODD result is S — Shot.
Oates has SPCT 18 and a +7 effect. Grant Fuhr supplies a -4 goalie adjustment: 18 + 7 - 4 = 21.
Final Scoring Rating 21 scores on 9 or 10. A matching-colour dice total of 9 puts the puck in the net.
