I dedicate this to my brothers who I played numerous games with. We really
used to run the score up, eh guys?
Also, for Cougar. I miss you, and I hope you are living it up in the
afterlife as you did in this world. You will always be in my memories, and
you will never be forgotten.
Also, In memory of Howler and Koonce. You two never had a good start in
your lives, but you had a good time when you spent your time at my house.
It was oh so unfortunate that you both had your already tragic lives cut
short, but I can only hope that I helped make your life a more enjoyable
experience. You too will be missed, but not forgotten.

1) This is EA's version of their acclaimed hockey series for the 1993
season. Although it is not as advanced as many other in the series, it
is still a fun play. Take your favourite team, or maybe try to take a
Dark Horse to the finals to pull off the dream that burns in every hockey
fans soul. For instance, as the song says "This chance may never come
again."

--------------------------------Play Modes----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) This section will look at the various play modes available to you, and
what each one means.
o----------------o
| Regular Season |
o----------------o
This mode is a one shot game that has no effect on any other game. This is
for someone who wants to get a qucik hame against the computer. This is the
ONLY mode that supports two players!
o--------------o
| New Playoffs |
o--------------o
This mode will allow you to enter the playoffs in the preliminary round with
15 other teams, all vying for Lord Stanley's Cup. You can not directly
choose your team, but you can toggle the match-ups till you find one that
you want to participate in. If you get the wrong team, just reset and try
again.
o-----------o
| Best Of 7 |
o-----------o
This one works the same as the NEW PLAYOFFS, but with one minor exception...
the Playoffs are no longer single elimination! You now have to win four
games in a series against another team before they can do the same against
you.
o-------------------o
| Continue Playoffs |
o-------------------o
This mode allows you to enter a password recieved during your playoff
progress. Be sure to write the passwords down carefully, or you will have
to use older ones!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------Stats And Rules Options---------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) This section will look at the options available to you in each play mode
choice.
o----------------o
| Regular Season |
o----------------o
Players......: You can choose between Demo (watch two computer teams play),
One Player - Home (the player is home team),
One Player - Visitor (the player is visitor), Teammates (two
players play on same team), Head To Head (two players are on
opposite teams).
Team 1.......: Select which team will be the home team.
Team 2.......: Select which team will be the visitor team.
Period Length: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 20 minutes are your options.
Penalties....: Only Fighting (no infractions except fighting), On with No
Offsides (all penalties without offsides), and ON (all
infractions called).
Line Changes.: You can select ON (you alternate lines as they tire), and OFF
(first line plays all the time).
o--------------o
| New Playoffs |
o--------------o
Team 1 & Team 2: These are bundled, but you can control which team that you
control. Watch the Team 1 box, as that is the one that the
human player will control, just keep switching it around
till you get the team you desire. This also works for
getting home ice advantage since the CPU puts you into the
visitor position the majority of the time.
Period Length..: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 20 minutes are your options.
Penalties......: Only Fighting (no infractions except fighting), On with No
Offsides (all penalties without offsides), and ON (all
infractions called).
Line Changes...: You can select ON (you alternate lines as they tire), and
OFF (first line plays all the time).

--------------------------Team Rosters And Ratings--------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) This section will list the skills of each team as a group, and then the
average rating each player recieved for individual skills. The rosters
will be listed by default line groupings (Scoring 1, Scoring 2, and
Checking), and extras will not be listed, so you need to figure out who
to use off the bench if injuries occur.

6) This section will give you the know how on how to thrive in the toughest
situations of this game.
a) The easiest way to score in this game is to use the famous move called
the wrap around. Go behind the net, start out on one side of the net,
cross in front of the net, and throw the puck into the far corner. This
is a great way to score.
b) Here is a cheap way to get easy wrap around goals. Whenever you are
heading downwards toward the opponents net, come in on the right (when
looking at TV) side, and go behind the net. The goalie will often get
caught up on the side of the net, so dance out front, and chuck the puck
into the yawning cage before the goalie recovers.
c) If a player has high power on their shot (like 80 to 100), try to blast
slapshots past the goalie. If the goalie saves them, the rebound will
often bounce out to one of your players for a possible rebound goal, and
if the shot was so hard it knocked the goalie down, it is a simple
matter of hitting the open net.
d) Quick passes are especially useful for clearing the puck out of your own
zone. This will not give the opposition any time to adjust to your
position.
e) Hooking your opponent ahead of you going into your zone, you can slow
them down, or maybe even pull them down before they can get anywhere near
the net.
f) Keep your lines fresh, and you will be able to out manuveur your
opposition more often, and thus create more chances to score and have a
faster defensive unit out there.
g) Throw the face-off back to your defencemen. This will not only get you
the puck away from your opposition, but it leaves your forwards the
chance to break for the goal with your lead-in pass.
h) Try to shoot from closer in. Not only does this lessen the chance of a
blocked shot, but it also gives the Goalie less time to react to your
blast.
i) Whenever your opposition parks themselves in front of your net, take a
player of yours to clear them out. This lessens their chances of a
rebound goal.
j) If you play without line changes, make sure to check the ratings and
skills of your starters to guy who sit on the bench. You back-up guys
may be better for you with their specific skills.

This game is cool, but by far the worst in the now long-running series.
Try to pick up a different one from the series on SNES for the 2D hockey
experience! However, you should really look at the Sega Genesis version
if you want the superior version of this game. Seriously, go with it for
the best play, and this comes from an old school Nintendo junkie! ;)
