Two recommendations:

Top Shelf Hockey
In the Net Hockey

archibalduk · 10-19-2011, 01:37 PM

1) Community Hockey Manager (i.e. community-spirited in that hopefully the hockey gaming community will have plenty of input into the game)
2) Playoff Hockey Manager
3) From the Bench Hockey
4) In the Crease Hockey
5) OOTP Hockey (just because it's OOTP - it doesn't have to stand for anything)

"Out Of The Pond"?

Top of the Net Hockey (winner!)

Into the Net Hockey
Along the Boards Hockey
Across the Blue Line Hockey (too long)
Hoist the Cup Hockey

What do I get if my name suggestion is selected?

Personally, I think Behind the Bench Hockey might be the best one the others mentioned so far.

Also, beware that the Wikipedia list is nowhere near exhaustive. It is missing many titles from games that were released on older consoles, older computer systems, and even arcade machines. Hopefully you guys will have an attorney do the appropriate searches to ensure that there are no trademark violations.

That could be in use, but I've never seen it.

Thanks, Cryo........although it seems to be 'somewhat' in use by some sort of software.

Well, what information do you want to present in the title?

1. It's a hockey game, so perhaps the word 'hockey' could appear.

2. It's a management game, so the word 'management' seems logical.

So how about 'Hockey Manager'?

I'm not very good at this.

What about Hockey Mogul?

From the Football Mogul FAQs:

Quote:

Q: Are you currently working on Hockey Mogul or Basketball Mogul?

A: After we release Baseball Mogul 2011 (in March, 2010) our highest priorities are (in order):

Release patches and updates as needed for Baseball Mogul 2011.
Complete Football Mogul 2011 for launch around August, 2010.
Develop Basketball Mogul.
Develop College Football Mogul.
Develop College Basketball Mogul.
Develop Hockey Mogul.

I say nip that in the bud right now!

Get the Puck out of my Face Hockey Manager

There you go, that's got everything; my thorough brand awareness analysis from earlier, further reinforcement of said analysis with the mention of 'Puck' and bolstered with hugely unsubtle overtones of aggression and violence, which is pretty much the point of hockey, plus it's a catchy acronym as well.

MooK881 · 10-19-2011, 06:01 PM

i think it should be ootp hockey to keep the company name associated with the product! ootp baseball has a great track record so ootp hockey would get that positive connotation with it

Malte Schwarz · 10-19-2011, 06:12 PM

Good work, lots of interesting proposals so far.
Keep it up!

rocknfire7 · 10-19-2011, 07:15 PM

Crash the Crease Hockey
Power Shot Hockey
Shoot! Score! Hockey Manager
Top Shelf Hockey
The Puck Stops Here

This looks cool guys! Best of luck!
