NHL Slapshot is a 2010 ice hockey sports game developed by EA Canada for the Wii. The title features Wayne Gretzky as its cover athlete — a notable first for the EA Sports NHL series, which had not previously featured a retired player on its cover. Gretzky also appears within the game itself, taking on a coaching role aimed at helping newer players learn the fundamentals. His involvement marked his first video game cover appearance since 2006. As a Wii exclusive entry in EA's long-running hockey franchise, the game was designed with accessibility in mind, positioning Gretzky's presence as both a marketing touchstone and a functional in-game guide for those unfamiliar with the series or the sport.
