Executive Hockey

Executive Hockey is a hockey management simulation in which you choose a team, build its roster and compete against 30 other teams for the Gretzky Cup. Teams have philosophies such as offense, defense and toughness, and you sign and trade players before selecting your lineups.

Manage your roster

Your decisions respond to the state of your team and season. If your best center is injured for six weeks or more with the trade deadline five days away and your team on the playoff bubble, you can seek help at center or trade assets who are about to become free agents.

Build your lines

Combining playmakers and snipers on a line gives an offensive bonus. A franchise known for toughness can be stocked with grinders, pests and enforcers to draw more penalties. You can also give weaker players more ice time to help them improve, or use the first overall draft pick to select a highly regarded young player to anchor the team for years.
