This section will describe the game modes you can choose from. You have to
select one to start playing the game.
1P Quest
This is the fun part of the game. It's the quest mode where you must venture
through the lands and defeat every team in the land to become the Virtual
Hockey League Championship.
1P VS Comp
This is just playing against the computer in a regular game of hockey.
1P VS 2P
This is playing against a friend in a regular game of hockey.
1P2P VS Comp
This mode allows you to play with a friend versus the computer.
1P2P VS 3P4P
This mode allows you and three friends to all enjoy a game of hockey.
Game Options
This will allow you to change the difficulty and time in a game. Team1 Level is
your team's skill, basically your computer controlled teammate. Team2 Level is
the skill of the computer, or computer controlled player in a two player game.
Time is just how many periods you play. This only applies in single games
excluding 1P Quest mode.

3. - S T R A T E G I E S HTI03
===============================================================================
This game is actually pretty fun, especially once you learn the tricks of the
trade. It has the aspects of a role playing game but the excitement of a hockey
game! How awesome is that?! Trust me though, it can be frustrating if you don't
know what you're doing. You will end every game in a 0-0 draw except for when
you face real teams, then you'll just lose. However, in this section I will
teach you a guarenteed and proven way to win every hockey game.
First Goal : Scoring!!
I can't emphasize this enough, a good offense will win for you. Without a good
offense, you'll never score, and without scoring, you'll never win. I know it
can be very frustrating to score, however you just have to learn the trick. It
took me a few games to figure this one out but it works a lot of the time. I
now find myself scoring at least three goals a game with ease, over ten in the
real big games in the other arenas.
The best thing to do is get a breakaway. For this, I generally keep the player
I control on the right side of the arena. Once you get the puck, pass it
straight to him. Now that you're behind the opposing team, you have a clear
shot at the net. This is what you have to do to score. Skate high, around the
lower part of the faceoff circle. Cut down in front of the net and the goalie
will dive at you trying to grab the puck. While he dives, his feet lift into
the air. That's your prime opportunity to just tap the shoot button and slip it
under the goalie's legs. You can also shoot a little early to the bottom post
and it might slip past him.
Second Goal : Hold the Lead!!
Holding the lead can be a bit difficult if you don't have a big lead and they
drank the power booster item. I find it fairly difficult to steal the puck from
the opposing team so I usually leave my player on the right side of the arena.
The player on your team controlled by the computer usually has a few good
defensive plays and you can quickly get the puck to your other player down the
ice from there.
However, I think the most successful way of holding the lead is to just simply
control the goalie. You are always in control of the goalie, you may not
realize it, but you are. Learn how to control him and some tricks. For example,
if you're high in the crease and the player with the puck is down low, slide
down instead of slowly moving down manually. Just try your best to stay in
between the puck and the net at all times.
Third Goal : The Breakout!!
This is where the defense leads to the offense. This is also exactly why I
leave the player I control all the way to the right of the arena. It is not
hard to play goalie after you realize you need to focus on controlling the
goalie instead of your other players. Once the goalie gets the puck, the
opposing players usually stay near your goalie. That leaves the other player
wide open towards the opposite end. Just pass it to him and you have yourself a
breakaway.
Misc : Fighting!!
This category, I'm not too certain about. I know it's not just button mashing
that wins, because I never win that way. The problem is when you lose, your
player because weak and slow for a limited amount of time and there's nothing
you can really do about it. The only fight I have ever won, I tried this
method: When I punched, I leaned towards the player and pressed A. When s/he
punched, I leaned away from the player and pressed B. This isn't necessarily
the best method for fighting but it is what I am most successful with.
Main Goal : Winning the VHL Championship!!
To win the Virtual Hockey League Championship, all you have to do is defeat all
five other teams. Travel to their respective arenas and then defeat them one by
one until you defeat them all. Once you defeat them all, you will be shown the
victory screen stating that you won the championship!

Every house will always do the same thing. Some will give you some random
advice, others will give you money, and others will take money. Here in this
section, I will make a large map and describe what is in each house. I will
just post a number or letter for each house, please refer to the list below the
text map for a guide to what they do. I also included trees and mountains as a
guide.

These items can all be purchased at the shops, only the life-saving inner-tube
cannot be purchased at any shop. A trick is required for that item, it is
listed below. The prices change in between each shop. They aren't any major
price changes except for the shop in the southeast corner of the map. For all
prices for each specific shop, check out the Shops section of this guide, it's
in the next section.
Special Beef
You will eat the special beef right away. What it will do for you is rebuild
your team's stamina. It will also gain some quick experience points. I
personally do not believe this item is worth purchasing since it costs so much
and doesn't give you enough experience.
Hamburger
You will eat the hamburger right away. What it will do for you is rebuild your
team's stamina. It will also gain some quick experience points. I personally do
not believe this item is worth purchasing since it costs so much and doesn't
give you enough experience.
Apple
These don't do much but except for allowing you to get the life-saving inner-
tube. You need to bring a total of ten apples to the old man who loves apples.
He lives to the south of the Black team's arena. You can only carry five at a
time so you will have to make two trips to his house before you can attain the
life-saving inner-tube.
P-Drink
This item will give you an edge in a game. You can purchase up to five at a
time. When you play in any game, you will see the bottle of the P-Drink in
front of your bench. Just skate up to it at any time and press up to drink it.
This will boost all of your stats. I suggest using this early in a game or
period so it will last you the longest time.
Life-Saving Inner-Tube
This is the best item in the game. It allows you to go in the water and live.
While in the water, you will never run into any random teams you have to face
to save you time, unless you want to level up. To get it, you just need to
bring ten apples to the old man to the south of the black arena. You can only
carry five at a time so you need to make two trips.
