NHL Hitz 20-02 — the game involves 3 players on the ice for each team and another 3 players on the bench for each team. Line changes can be made between periods. Fighting was included in the game, but the rules were very different from the NHL rules. Fights last until the player is knocked out, and the loser is out of the game forever. Since there are only 6 players per team, after one team loses 3 battles, no additional battles are allowed. Hitting is rewarded rather than punished: players can knock down other players to temporarily take them out of the game, without penalty.
