Credits purchased are used to buy time. Each credit purchases one additional minute of play time. Additionally, scoring a goal will earn a player 30 seconds of extra play time, while failing to defend your own goal will cost you 10 seconds of play time in a single player game.

Play begins when the referee drops the puck between two opposing players in a face off. You can rapidly tap the pass button, or attempt to accurately time your press when the puck hits the ice. Whoever presses pass the fastest after the puck hits the ice gets control over the puck.

While on offense, the goal is to drive or pass the puck closer to your opponent's goal, and shoot the puck past the goalie and into the goal. When shooting the puck, pay attention to the arrow that moves up and down in front of the goal. When you shoot the puck, it will automatically move to the location of the arrow. You must try to time your shots so that the arrow is not being blocked by the goalie.

When on defense, the goal is to check and push players with the puck out of the way in order to steal control of the puck away.
You do not have simultaneous control over one player and the goalie. The goalie moves on his own, trying to strike a balance between where the puck is and where the arrow is.

When the first and second periods end (normally after 4 minutes in the most updated version, but 20 minutes in the early versions), you are presented with a unique mini-game. After the first period, you are presented with a shoot-out scene against the goalie. But rather than shooting one puck, you can shoot several in rapid-fire. You will earn bonus time for every puck that you send past the goalie. Likewise, at the end of the second period, the shoot-out occurs but now you are in the role of the goalie. You will earn bonus time for every puck that you successfully defend from entering the goal.

Whether you are on offense or defense, you always have the ability to use the Fight button throughout the game. Pressing the Fight button will cause your player to throw a punch. If you throw a punch at someone from behind, you are more likely to knock them down. If you throw a punch at someone face to face, there is a chance that they will begin to fight back. If three punches are thrown back and forth, the game switches to a closeup view of the two fighters. Progress of the game is halted while the two opponents duke it out.

During the fight, each player has a vitality meter and can sustain five hits before being knocked out. The goal is to press the Fight button and knock your opponent out before he can knock you out. Rapid tapping of the Fight button isn't necessarily the best strategy, as your opponent is likely to get more hits in than you do. Instead, it's better to find an accurate rhythm and timing to your punches so that they successfully land every time. If time runs out, the player with the most remaining energy wins the fight. The loser of a fight is hauled off the rink by the referee and penalized for two minutes (not in real time, but in game time, which is much faster.)
