About This Game

12 Players. 1 Rink. Skill, Teamwork, Victory.

Hockey is a team sport. Victory is earned together.

Hit the ice in TOP SHELF, an online 6v6 competitive hockey experience where every player matters. Forget controlling an entire team. You're one player, one position, and one piece of a team that needs all six players working together to win.

Master independent skating and stick control, develop your offensive arsenal, make game-changing defensive plays, and take complete control of your position in net.

From perfectly timed one-timers to clutch saves, skill creates the chances, but teamwork wins games.

Find your teammates. Build your chemistry. Own the ice.

ABOUT THIS GAME

TOP SHELF is an online 6v6 competitive hockey game built around individual skill, realistic hockey mechanics, and team-based competition.

Every player controls their own character. There are no teammates to switch between and no AI-controlled team to carry you. Your success depends on mastering your position, working with your teammates, and making the right decisions under pressure.

Whether you're creating chances up front, shutting down opposing forwards on defense, or standing between the pipes, each position has a job to do and can swing the outcome of a game.

TWO TEAMS. SIX ON SIX.

Two teams of six real players go head to head. Take the ice as a forward, defenseman, or goalie, and see the game from a completely different perspective at each position.

Your teammates aren't AI. They're real players, each with their own responsibilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

Communication, positioning, and chemistry will separate championship teams from everyone else.

FULL CONTROL. FULL SKILL EXPRESSION.

TOP SHELF features independent body movement and stick control, giving players the ability to develop their own playstyle and master the mechanics of the game.

Control your skating and positioning while independently manipulating your stick to handle the puck, create space, and challenge defenders.

Master your movement, manage your stamina, and learn when to attack, defend, or conserve energy.

BUILD YOUR OFFENSIVE ARSENAL

Scoring takes more than simply pressing a button. Learn to use your stick, timing, and positioning to create opportunities.

• Stickhandling & Dekes: Control the puck, deceive defenders, and create room to attack.

• Wrist Shots: Release quick and accurate shots when opportunities appear.

• Slap Shots: Wind up and unleash powerful shots from distance.

• Fake Shots: Keep defenders guessing and create openings.

• One-Timers: Connect with teammates for quick, dangerous scoring chances.

Every goal comes down to timing, awareness, and execution.

DEFEND YOUR ZONE

Offense gets the highlights, but defense wins games.

Use body checking to separate opponents from the puck, disrupt attacking plays, and protect your zone. Manage your stamina, maintain positioning, and make smart defensive decisions.

Penalties punish undisciplined play. Knowing when to challenge an opponent and when to hold your position can make all the difference.

TAKE CONTROL IN NET

Goalies aren't spectators. They're an essential part of the competition.

Take full control of your goalie and become the last line of defense. Read incoming plays, react to shots, and make the saves your team needs.

A great goalie can change the momentum of an entire game.

REAL HOCKEY RULES

The game follows the rules that make hockey competitive and strategic.

• Offside

• Icing

• Body checking

• Tripping penalties and consequences for undisciplined play

Positioning, discipline, and awareness matter just as much as mechanical skill.

OVERTIME & SHOOTOUTS

Three periods isn't always enough. Tied games go to sudden-death overtime, where the next goal wins. If overtime can't settle it, it comes down to a shootout: one shooter, one goalie, and nowhere to hide.

Want to skip straight to the pressure? Shootout mode pits two players head to head, trading turns as shooter and goalie.

CUSTOM MATCHES

Set up your own games with friends. Pick your team and position, and turn offside, icing, and penalties on or off to play the way you want.

REPLAYS & HIGHLIGHTS

Relive the big moments. Watch replays from a free camera or from any player's view, and check the highlights and stats after each game to see who made the difference.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR PLAYER

Make your player your own. Choose your face and skin tone, customize each piece of your gear, pick your stick design and tape colors, and set up your look for both team outfits.

PROVE YOURSELF ON THE ICE

TOP SHELF is built around competitive multiplayer hockey where individual performance and team chemistry go hand in hand.

Learn the mechanics. Master your position. Build chemistry with your teammates and prove yourself against other players.

Because out here, you can't win alone.
