Reception
Slapshot McGraw of GamePro praised the many options but criticized the sluggishness of the moves, and concluded "this simplistic cart probably won't satisfy serious gamers", only suggesting the game "if your store is out of NHL '95 or Brett Hull Hockey". Game Players called the game "an arcade-style cartridge with hints of a sim" which is entertaining but repetitive. Mega Fun magazine rated the game 39%, calling the game poorly programmed and the movement "like brontosaurs over the ice". Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "Tecmo Super Hockey winds up with the rest of the wanna-bes, who would be lucky to lace the skates of EA's phenomenal NHL '95."
