“This is the most fantastic hockey set I've seen since I started playing with Lego. The rink is made of individual 8x16 flat plates. When pieced together, you get a hockey rink with 4 faceoff circles, a center faceoff circle, blue lines and red, dotted center line. There are... More glass boards, nets and goal lights. You can customize your own teams using stickers with all 30 teams from the NHL, but each team only comes with one sticker.”

“This set recreates a full hockey rink with detailed markings, glass boards, goal lights, and customizable team stickers for all NHL teams. The figures are mounted on beams with a gear system that lets you control movement and shoot the puck in different ways, adding a lot of depth to gameplay. While the long beams can sometimes bend and cause uneven movement, the overall design and unique features make it a standout LEGO hockey set.”
