The hockey sticks bend and are made of plastic.According to your slogan you,"believe that children should be given toys built to last...We've searched the world for toys that endure...THE WAY THEY USED TO MAKE THEM." The original nok hockey games were made with wooden sticks that lasted. We were very satisfied with the construction of the board which should not be played with plastic sticks.

One of those games you remember from childhood. But what were the manufacturers thinking when they decided to make the sticks plastic? Would also be good if there was a source for replacing the sticks and puck. The board, on the other hand, is virtually indestructible.

Having a house full of boys ranging from 10 years to 5 years this toy/game makes them all happy. Lets not forget Dad and the visiting Uncle. The older ones try and position the puck while the younger ones just go for it. Our living room becomes Madison Square Garden and everyone lays on the floor watching to see who they will play next. It is a large item but because it is somewhat flat it can slide under a bed or a couch. We love it!!

This is the giant Nok Hockey-it takes up a lot of space to store. We bought it thinking the game would be more fun than the smaller one but the smaller one is more fun for the kids and they prefer it to this one. The little Nok Hockey board is a much faster game as the puck has a shorter distance to travel and doesn't lose as much speed. Our kids have figured out all the angles at which to hit the puck on the smaller board so maybe that is part of reason this larger board is a slower game for them. They don't seem to enjoy it as much as the smaller board so it was not really a good purchase for them. The board itself however, is well made and designed to withstand the usual abuse.

I played this game as a child and loved it. When I ran into it again 2 years ago, it was too close to Christmas to give as a gift as everywhere was SOLD OUT!!. Well I found it last year in time for Christmas and sent it to my 2 grandsons (7 & 9, then). In July '04, I visited them and Grandma was crowned Nok Hockey Champion of the Universe! (I still got IT!) They are challenged to a rematch this Christmas... hope they've practiced enough to beat me now!!! LOL - Still a Great Game after all these years.

Nok Hockey can help with strategy and problem solving while being somthing fun to play. Nok Hockey is the the thing to play on a rainy day.

I played this game at a Summer Camp. It is great fun because you can do special shots. It is big but you can put it anywhere because its height is very little. I love Nok Hockey. I recommend it for ages 6 through 100.

When I played this game i was at sleep away camp. We used to always play each other all day. That game is very entertaining. I could play my friends for hours and hours. If you like real hockey then you will love Nok Hockey.

I just wanted to make the point that this thing comes in a HUGE box with NOK HOCKEY in gigantic letters all over the outside. They don't pack it in an outside Amazon box. So if it's a surprise, have it mailed to your office or somewhere.

Our family LOVES this game! We first discovered it on a trip to NY this summer when we had played it with some relatives. My kids (ages 3, 7 & 12) just can't seem to get enough of it!!! A super easy game for all ages & certainly a game for the whole family to enjoy. I would suggest this game to anyone/everyone! Enjoy ~
