There is one sport that can get our hearts thumping, raise up our adrenaline, excite our senses and bring people from all walks of life together… that is, if you’re Canadian (or maybe some Americans as well). We’re not talking about football of course, but rather, hockey. And now you can enjoy all of the things that you love about the sport, albeit digitally, with the release of NHL 2K for Android. The new season of the NHL starts in a few days and this may be the perfect game to pump you up.

The game has several game modes that hockey fans will be able to enjoy (and maybe practice on for that weekend hockey pickup game in your neighborhood). Aside from the normal game, you can also play it in the Mini Rink mode with an arcade style of a 3 vs 3 game play, which makes the game even faster and more furious. If you’d like to enhance your shootout skills, at least through your fingers, you can use the turn-based penalty shooutout mode, where you can play against friends or other players using that mode as well.

The My Career mode is pretty interesting as you can create and custom a player, train and play him and follow his career all throughout several seasons. You can get him to play for actual teams in the NHL. The app also gives you live and updated rosters of the teams in the league so you can keep track of your favorite teams and players, even as you play the game while watching actual games on TV (or even live!).

NHL 2K is available at the Google Play Store for $8. Seems a pretty steep price for a mobile game, but if you’re a true-blue hockey fan, you wouldn’t really mind spending that much.
