NHLPA Hockey is a Sega Mega Drive fitness hockey game developed and published by HeartBeat Corporation. A port of the 1992 Park Place Productions title NHLPA Hockey '93 specifically designed to utilize the fitness sensor-integrated Mega Drive peripheral HeartBeat Catalyst[1], it was released exclusively in the United States in 1994 in an extremely-limited run, and is one of the single-rarest commercially-available Sega Genesis games in existence.

| “ | A super realistic, fast action hockey game designed around the actual rules and players of the National Hockey League. Work out with the pros while keeping your heart rate within your target zone and go head to head with your opponent. Go above or fall below your target heart rate zone and lose team strength - maybe we'll even bench you. So tie on your skates and strap on your helmet for exercise excitement like never before. | „ |
— Promotional blurb from the Heartbeat Personal Trainer's brochure.[4] | ||
Gameplay
NHLPA Hockey encourages users to play the game while exercising, with the Catalyst's fitness sensor hardware adjusting the overall power of the controlled hockey team during matches. If the user exercises faster, the team's power will increase, and vice versa.
