is a fast-paced, "no-rules" hockey game released by EA Sports in 2009 for Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) and PlayStation Network. Designed by the same team behind NHL 09 , it swaps simulation-style realism for cartoonish graphics, oversized "big heads," and chaotic power-ups. Fast-Paced Gameplay Features

The game supports both simplified button controls and the more advanced "Skill Stick" system from the main NHL series for deking and precise shooting. Availability and Platforms

3 on 3 NHL Arcade: Big Heads, Big Hits, and Retro Arcade Chaos

The game strips hockey down to its most frantic elements, removing offsides, icing, penalties, and faceoffs. Matches are often played on a "first to X goals" basis rather than a standard clock.

Hard checks often drop power-ups on the ice, such as Big Player , Small Goalie , Super Speed , and even Banana Peels to trip opponents.

Players choose three skaters and a goalie from a pool of 40 NHL stars, including legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.

Skaters are divided into three simple categories: Strong (heavy hitters), Fast (speedy skaters), and All-Around (balanced).
