We received a Playmobil NHL Hockey Arena to play with and review. Opinions of the arena are 100% my own.

While we are not the biggest sports people around, we do enjoy sports toys. When we were offered the chance to review the Playmobil NHL Hockey Arena we were so excited to try it out. Andrew was jumping all around wanting to play as soon as I opened the box. Putting it together was very easy with minimal directions. That is a great thing about Playmobil toys, they consistently go together quickly and easily. I was done with the major assembly in less than 15 minutes. Then I applied the stickers one half of the arena at a time so that Andrew could play with the hockey players while I worked.

Speaking of stickers, the hockey arena has official NHL logo stickers and logo decals of all the 30 NHL teams. The toy looks sharp. I applied one of the Bruins’ logo decals to center ice as well as another NHL logo. Now I’m thinking that we should be on the lookout for some more Bruins players to play with. I made a little video of us using the Playmobil NHL Hockey Arena.

The mechanics of this set are excellent. Andrew and I played and laughed and really just enjoyed this toy. It is so simple and straightforward, easy to use. He couldn’t wait to show his mom and sister this toy and play with them, too. Not only can you move the goalie side to side but you can also take one mean slap shot on goal. Andrew and I took turns trying to shoot goals on each other and then we kept track on the score-keeping slide rule.

Moving the players around the rink is very easy. Then to shoot the puck you make a quick pull back on the lever and a spring loaded shot fires on the goal.

Here is the full official description of the toy plus how to purchase and price information. Now I want to pick up the Zamboni for the Arena.

PLAYMOBIL NHL Hockey Arena (5068) (MSRP $59.99) : Skate into action with your own hockey match at the NHL Hockey Arena. Each of the four NHL players feature a movable arm and hockey stick for even more realistic game play. Simply pull back the lever to swing the stick and fire the puck down the rink towards the opposing goal. Use the goalie to defend against offensive plays by clipping the player to the goal and then using the joystick to maneuver the goalie from side to side for some game-saving blocks!
