Concept
You should already know what the game's concept is. This game is about
hockey. NHL Hockey '94 is a realistic hockey game based on the actual
rules, players, and teams of the NHL. (At least in 1994.) You can
play through exhibition games, try to win the playoffs, and ultimately,
the Stanley Cup, or try out your skills in a shootout. All of these
modes are fun and enjoyable, so I suggest that you try them all out.

Tips and Tricks
- First of all, I'll start with my favorite, and perhaps the most
important, trick. This trick allows you to score almost at will.
Here's how to do it:
First, get the puck around the center line. Give the puck to one of
your faster players, who will probably be your center or one of your
wings. Once he has the puck, start skating right besides either of
the boards toward your opponent's net. But do not skate at an angle
to the net. Skate in a straight line, parallel to the boards.
Then when you get to about even with the goalie, come to a complete
stop. Once you're stopped, turn at a right angle right toward the
goalie. DO NOT skate into the goalie. This will ruin the whole
process. Instead, skate in a straight line about an inch or two in
front of the goalie. As you pass him, he will usually go into a
dive. As soon as he does this, IMMEDIATELY shoot the puck. This
will usually result in a goal.
It sounds easier said than done. Of course, the opposition's
defenders will try to check you and knock you off balance. If this
happens, you should try tapping the C button as you are skating, as
this will give you speed bursts.
Well, that's all there is to this trick. After doing a couple of
times, it becomes second nature. Now it's time to light off the
siren!
- To check someone, use the C button (body check). The B button (poke
check) really has no effect on opponents.
- To win a greater percentage of face offs, continuously press the C
button during the face-off. This will push your center into your
opponent's center causing the puck to be jarred loose. Then just
change to another player and speed burst your way to the loose puck.
- If you're down by a couple of goals late in the game, you can pull
your goalie and get an extra player to try and help you score. To do
this, go to the Scoreboard Menu, and the option is under the
Change/Remove Goalies heading.
- The Player Cards option in the Scoreboard Menu allows you to view
stats for the 1992-1993 NHL season, statistics for the two selected
teams, and watch video clips from actual NHL games.
- After a goal is scored, you can still check your vulnerable
opponents.
- Performing one-timers is a fun, yet challenging, way to score. Just
pass the puck to a teammate near the net. After making the pass,
quickly press and hold the C button to unload a slap shot toward the
net. Sometimes it's successful, and sometimes it's not.
- When your opponent is on a power play, don't focus on scoring.
Defending should be your top priority when trying to kill a penalty.
(This is a hockey term.)

The Teams
**Anaheim Mighty Ducks**
This team isn't too good, with slow defenders, no real stars, and
pretty bad wings. Their starting center though, Terry Yake, is a hard
checker with a decent shot.

**Boston Bruins**
The Bruins are a decent team with very strong and physical defensemen.
But their lack of a strong scoring threat and a mediocre goalie can
make playing with this team frustrating at times.

The Sabres are a strong and physical team with an outstanding goalie in
Fuhr that can win you a lot of games. However, their lack of good
speed and depth prevent this team from being spectacular.

Credits
Well, this was my first attempt at a FAQ. (Could you tell?) But I
couldn't do it all myself. I have to give some thanks to:
- Electronic Arts - This is really a great game, and I have to give
thanks to these for putting it together.
- GameFAQs - They allowed me to write this here FAQ (not to mention a
few reviews) and have it posted on their website.
- The people who wrote the instruction manual for NHL Hockey '94 - I
used this little booklet quite a bit while writing this FAQ.

Well, thank you. Don't be afraid to email me about this FAQ. Have a
nice day!
