While poking around on Reddit I came across a post from someone making their own hockey game for the PC. Intrigued, I reached out to Brandon Holt, the game’s creator and a PhD student in Bioengineering at Georgia Tech, and just a few hours later he and I were playing his game together on Steam.
Canvas Hockey doesn’t look like any hockey game that you know. To its credit, it is dramatically different from the NHL franchise put out every year by EA Sports. If you’re looking for glitz, cutting edge graphics, Snoop Dogg voice acting, and micro-transactions this one isn’t for you.
