Kiekko.tk is a java-based ice hockey game, which has nearly 50,000 active users (a majority of them are Finnish [http://hockey.tk/about.cws] ). The game is developed by Jouko and Mikko Pynnönen. The game is free to play, but some features such as starting a team have to be paid with either SMS-messages or PayPal.

Playing the game

Every player takes control of one player in the rink. The game is played only with a mouse. Goalies can't be controlled but other players are controlled by humans. Players can play in training rooms where players constantly change, or join a team and play with friends. Players can also spectate other players or teams playing the game. By clicking and holding the left mouse button, you can shoot the puck or manually pass. By clicking the right mouse button, you will automatically pass it to another player on your team. Players have organized leagues to increase the level of competition.
