Mutant League Hockey is a Sega Mega Drive comedy horror ice hockey game developed by Mutant Productions and published by Electronic Arts. A sequel to the company's previous 1993 title Mutant League Football, it was first released in Europe in March 1994, and is most notable for both its tongue-in-cheek horror theme, and for being built on the gameplay engine used in the company's previous NHL '94.
