PLAYMOBIL NHL Hockey Arena by PLAYMOBIL®

Product Information

The set includes 2 players, 2 goalies, 2 nets, 4 pucks, 2 launchers, 4 ice hockey sticks, 1 sticker sheet with numbers, 3 sticker sheets with NHL team logos, and of course, the arena. And here’s something I discovered that I’m not even sure Playmobil thought of, you can put the goalie on his action feature sideways. While that’s an overwhelmingly good thing, that means some of their bigger sets have many small pieces, and can take a while to assemble. The skaters snap easily into platforms that make them look like they’re skating, and it also allows them to shoot pucks. The NHL Hockey Arena (set 5068 for the sticklers) can either fit into an existing Playmobil theme or stand alone.

While none of them wear official NHL team colors (don’t worry, Playmobil still has you covered, we’ll get to that) they do sport the official NHL Shield logo on their jerseys and helmets. I am passionate about writing, photography, hiking, travelling, exercising, and spending time outdoors with my family. So when Playmobil sent me their NHL Arena to review, I was going to either really love it or really hate it. My son has been playing with anybody and everybody who has entered this house, including his aunt who was visiting from Vancouver.Playmobil includes three sheets of decals, including every NHL Team logo and the NHL Shield logo as well, in case you’d rather stay neutral.

Each player is equipped wih all the necessities to engage in battle on ice and comes with a spring-loaded base that allows them to actually launch the puck at the goals!

But waaaaaaaaait a minute,” says the sharp-eyed reader, “Where did those New York Rangers players come from? The skaters got 19, because I liked to wear 19 when I played, and 36, because I think Mats Zuccarello kinda looks like a Playmobil figure. I played it with my family and friends, with the extra special nice tabletop game with the cool figures saved for the holidays. NHL, the NHL Shield and the word mark and image of the Stanley Cup are trademarks of the National Hockey League.

Well, I’m happy to report here that although Playmobil’s attention to detail is still greatly evident with their NHL Hockey Arena, it is very easy to assemble. Combined with the puck shooting action of the skaters, the ability of the goalies to go post to post in the crease really makes for a lot of fun hockey gameplay. With the NHL Hockey Arena, Playmobil will let you trick out your rink with players from your favorite NHL team, as well as the aforementioned Zamboni, referees, and even the presenters of the Stanley Cup. That’s the spring loaded mechanism that pulls his hockey stick back and releases it for the shooting action.
