NHL Slapshot is EA Sports' first ice hockey video game on the Wii, released in 2010.[1] It was the first game in the NHL series since NHL 2005 to receive an E rating, mainly because the game does not include fighting.

Game cover
Wayne Gretzky is the game's cover athlete, and also serves as the in-game coach for beginners. This marked the first time that the EA Sports NHL series featured a retired ice hockey player on the cover as well as Wayne Gretzky's first appearance on a cover of a video game since Gretzky NHL 2006.[1]
Hockey stick peripheral
A miniature hockey stick peripheral was released with the game, allowing (but not requiring) the player to insert the Wii Remote and its Nunchuk attachment and simulate playing with a real hockey stick.[1][2]
