There's no Sears Telegames version of hockey. Only Activision made an Ice Hockey for the 2600. If the OP is from a PAL country there may be some pirate variation. Definitely a pic would help.

Sears branded games are already in the database, example:

For those who do not know, the Sears Video Arcade was a licensed clone of the Atari 2600/VCS. The difference is that the game carts were called "tele-games" and are noted as such on the game packaging and above the cart slot on the console.

Super Video Arcade Hockey (what is referenced in that Intellivion picture) was definately sold as an Atari cart, branded as such. You can find them on Ebay at least.

Now unless you mean the Sears Tele-games Hockey/Tennis or Hockey/Tennis II. I've also found Hockey/Pong and Hockey/Jokari. These are more like Telstar systems.
