There are multiple ways to play NHL2K10.

You can use the classic controller, if you want. You can use the wiimote alone (turn it sideways, and only use a shoot/pass/check button layout, like classic Nintendo sports games), or you use the wiimote and the nunchuck.

The nunchuck controls the player via joystick, c button to skate backwards. The wiimote itself is basically the stick. It's not awkward at all, but like I said, it takes a little getting used to at first because no other hockey game you really have to interact with. I personally don't find a problem with it when I'm using it that way.
