From the publisher's website:CLASSIC HOCKEY is a game that uses statistics to rate major professional and international teams over nearly a century of organized competition. Game play is based on team statistics, but an optional box score feature lets you create both team and individual player stats. Teams are rated on offensive and defensive strength, and comeback ability. Replay entire seasons or playoffs, or put together a field of all-time greats from over the years and determine the best ever. - BoardGameGeek
