Hockey is a sport that's difficult to master, mostly because you're trying to skate properly and use the hockey stick to maneuver the puck around and score goals against the opposing team. For Electronic Arts' upcoming hockey game, NHL 08 (PS3, Xbox 360), we've got a little surprise for you. Below are two new videos for you to enjoy that should help you master the fine art of using a skill stick controls. That's right: a hockey stick isn't used for beating people up, it's for scoring goals!

In the first video, you'll be introduced to the skill stick tutorial, which will teach you the basics of maneuvering and scoring goals in NHL 08. It includes movement of the player and the puck, shooting, dodging, and performing fake maneuvers to throw your opponent off-guard. In the second video, you'll be able to hear commentary from the game's producers, Dean Richard and David Littman, as they explain the nuances of the skill stick. You'll hear them explaining how the new features for this year's game is meant to make the game more realistic, as the puck is live and in play when you're in the game.

In any case, you can find out more about the skill stick by watching the videos below. Enjoy!
