Game Description from box:

NHL and Team Canada superstars Phil and Tony Esposito have joined the Parker Brothers team to bring you Action Hockey - a totally new idea to table-top hockey games. In Action Hockey, both teams are controlled by permanent magnets located in each skater and in the control handles. One team is maneuvered from under the ice, the other from above. Skaters can move anywhere, there are no dead spots. There's non-stop action as players pass, shoot, check opponents, and score - just like in real hockey. Players' benches behind the boards double as convenient storage space for the teams.
