Reception
The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen said it was "One of the rare 'extreme' sports parodies that offers as much depth as laughs."
The D-Pad Destroyer of GamePro said of the game in one review, "It may not be pretty, but it gets the job done. Rock the Rink is a fast and nasty hockey slam that should satisfy gamers who just want to hit and score. Simply put, Rock the Rink rocks." In another, however, Air Hendrix said that the game "definitely won't attract the huge audience that Blitz did, but it's an enjoyable frantic take on hockey. If you're a fan of Midway's Open Ice series, RTR is gonna blow you away. If not, the game's less-than-mainstream appeal means you should rent before buying."
