Reception
Backyard Hockey was highly criticized for its gameplay. Chris Adams of IGN Entertainment wrote "the core gameplay is so unreliable and poorly designed that it's a largely frustrating, unenjoyable experience." One of GameZone's staff writers wrote "there are lots of gameplay options, but the play controls seem really flawed." The game was also said to have repetitive and dull commentary. The game, however, was praised for its graphics.
