Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Slap Shots! at none against Blocky Hockey's shown. Slap Shots! also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Blocky Hockey's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (918 vs 29). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
