THE GAME
On the ice, change lines, kill penalties, work the power play and control
the fights yourself. In solo Franchise, set lines, make trades, sign
free agents and draft players across multiple seasons. Play against the
CPU, with up to four people locally, or against one other player online.
The full game also has outdoor games, Pond Hockey, Training Camp and
arcade modes. All 24 clubs and their players are fictional.

FREE DEMO
Available now on Steam. Pick Chicago, Seattle, Montreal or Toronto for
Quick Game, local multiplayer or online head-to-head. The demo also
includes one ten-game solo Franchise season as Seattle, through the
playoffs and rookie draft. The trial ends after the draft; a second
season is part of the full game. Outdoor games and Pond Hockey are
full-game modes and are not in the demo.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
I'm Kyle. I make Barnburners by myself and voice the play-by-play.
I started it because I missed the fast, rough hockey games I grew up
with and wanted one to play on PC.
