Hit the Ice is a 1990 ice hockey video game developed and published by Taito for arcades. It was released by Williams in North America. The game is a cartoonish representation of the sport with three players on each team: forward, defense, and goalie. There are few rules, as players are encouraged to trip, elbow and kick opponents.

Taito released ports of Hit the Ice for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Boy and Super NES. An NES version was developed but not released.
