If you wish to add your favourite strategy, send your answers on a postcard to the usual address(or email me if you find it easier) ----------------------- A. DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES ----------------------- (1) The Big Hit Get control of one of your Big Hitters(their name/number will be red), and just Big Hit(Triangle) the player with the puck or the one in front of your goal(There always is one) Difficulty: 2/5 (2) The Dive When your opponent is shaping up for a slapshot, and you are too far away to hit him, press R1 to dive infront of the goal to block his shot. Difficulty: 3/5 (3) Gain Advantage This may be obvious, but it helps. When you have the puck, go behind your own net, and wait there until one or more opposition players comes to get the puck. When they come behind the net, skate off with the puck, and you will have one more player than your opponent. Difficulty: 2/5 (4) 2-Liner This is both Defensive and Offensive. Defensive because you clear the puck away, and Offensive because you get an attack. (When using Player Lock, or in multi-player games). Have another teammate upfield(preferably the 2nd player) or yourself in 1-player Get the puck to a computer controlled player on your team, and with the upfield player press X to call for the puck, and if 2-Line Passes are switched off it's a guarenteed breakaway. Difficulty: 3/5(risk of interception) (5) Loose Netting Sorry, I'm running out of ideas here. This one is kinda difficult. Get control of one of your Big Hitters(the red guys) and press X to dive into one of your goalposts. This can sometimes get you a "Delay of Game" penalty. Difficulty: 5/5 (6) Goalie's Poke Check (Use this with Manual Goalies) When opponent has a breakaway, press select to control the goalie. When the player gets close, press circle to check the player and get the puck. Difficulty: 4/5 ----------------------- B. OFFENSIVE STRATEGIES ----------------------- (1) One-Timer #1 Get the puck to your R/L Winger, stay close to the boards, when you get to just before the goal, pass it into the centre and if your centre is there(or one of your defenders), press Square to One-Time it into the net. If you're lucky! (2) One-Timer #2 When you have a breakaway, keep going across the front of the goalie, and then when your winger arrives pass it to him, and press Square to get an easy goal (if you did it right). (3) One-Two (One-Timer #3) When your centre has the puck and is going towards goal, and you have a winger to your side. Press X to pass to him, but as the puck reaches him, hold X to pass it back to your centre, and then you can one-time the 'keeper. (4) Rebound When you have one of your Big Shooters at the Blue Line, hold Square to Slapshot the puck into the net, and the goalie will save this but he wont be able to stop that little wrist-shot! This is one of the Strategies I use most. (5) Rebound...Rebound...Rebound Get your Big Shooter to slapshot it in again, and if the goalie saves the wrist shot, he wont be able to hold on, and the next shot should light the lamp. (6) Breakaway #1 When you have a breakaway, try to fool the goalie by moving left and right and by pressing the Triangle button(but DON'T use the circle button, you wont have enough time if you do), and he should come out of the goal. Then, move to the side and score easily. (7) Breakaway #2 Get a breakaway, move near the right faceoff circle if your player is right handed, or the left one if he's left handed. Then hold Square to power up the slapshot, but when it reaches full power press X to stop the shot. The goalie should be down, having thought you were shooting, and you should just be alble to tip it into the open net. (8) One of the easiest goals(also known as the Faceoff Goal) When you have a faceoff in your opponents end(at his goal). Just keep pressing X and hold L/R(whichever direction the goal is). The puck should go to your player waiting to one-time it in. (9) Wraparound(sorta) Get the puck behind the opponents net, and come around the front with the puck, and go to the opposite side of the net and slap it in. Sounds harder than it is. (10) One-Timer #4 - a.k.a Fake Timer In the oppoenents end, with one player hold Square as if going for a slapshot, but when you reach the end press X to stop the slapshot, and immediately press X again, then Square for the reciever to one-time it into the net. (11) Floater You just got to love the name! Only works on the counter, and just after faceoffs in the centre circle. This is the funniest way to score and is sure to annoy the hell out of human opposition. From just behind the blue line(at one of the sides, you can't be in the centre, because it has a better chance of working), Tap Square, and the puck should sail over the goalies head and into the net. (12) Off the Keeper Sometimes the opposition do this for you. It's extremely rare for this to happen. From behind the net, press X to pass it to one of the players in front of the net, with luck it will hit off the goalie and go in. --------------------- C.

Send in any I don't have. You can also correct any mistakes, as I have made many. Any ???? or .... should be filled in. Each player is in alphabetical order in the team he started 2000/01 at. ANAHEIM "We knew Paul Kariya was made for NHL when he won the ???????? Trophy for best collegiate player....... "Hey Jim. Did you know Paul Kariya learned to juggle? Yeah, he wanted to improve his hand-eye co-ordination so he learned how to juggle." ATALANTA "Igor Kravchuk is one of the most important players to his team. Well Bill, I look at the Plus/Minus, and Kravchuk has always been a Plus Player." BOSTON BUFFALO "When you talk about special players, there is none as special as the one who has done this. Dominik Hasek is superb, and he's the only player to have won the Hart Trophy for MVP twice." "Dominik Hasek led the NHL in save percentage in 6-consecutive seasons. Wow! 3 or 4 seasons is fantastic, but 6 consecutive seasons, that's amazing" "Dominik Hasek is one of the best goaltenders to have strapped on the pads. But how would you describe his style? Well, everybody's been trying to do that for about 10 years now. He has his own style, he just finds a way to stop the puck." "As one of the Buffalo Sabres captains, Michael Peca joins a list of greats such as ???????????? and Pat La Fontaine." "Miro Satan had to move around alot before he became a permanent fixture at Buffalo. He played in the Czech League, the Slovak League, the American League, the International Hockey League, and even in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers before joining Buffalo." CALGARY CAROLINA "Like most players around the world when Sami Kaponen isn't playing for his club team, he's playing for his country. And that would be Finland, where he picked up a bronze medal at the Olympics." CHICAGO COLORADO "Joe Sakic's career has had 2 very different halves. In his first 6 years his team never once made the playoffs, but in the last 6 they never missed the playoffs." COLUMBUS DALLAS DETROIT EDMONTON FLORIDA "In Hockey there are Big Deals and there are 'Big Deals'. Just ask Pavel Bure who was involved in a big one, he was traded from Vancouver to Florida in a nine-player deal in January of 1999." LOS ANGELES MINNESOTA MONTREAL NASHVILLE NEW JERSEY "When you're talking about New Jersey Devils' scoring lines, one name always seems to come up. Patrick Elias seems to have..... NY ISLANDERS NY RANGERS OTTAWA PHILADELPHIA PHOENIX "Well Jim? What do Metallica, Austin Powers, and Frank Sinatra got in common? They're all favourites of Finnish Defender Teppo Numminen.

Why I didn't do an Intro is bacause you don't usually read it, you dive straight into the Guide. So, because you don't see Outros(well I haven't anyway), I thought you might actually read this. I started this guide because: I love Hockey, and there was no Playstation Guide available, and we all need guides(You down the back! Don't say you don't use guides, cause you have and will, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this). Since we only have one Irish Hockey Team, the only way I can get involved in Hockey is by helping you guys(and watching it on TV). I hope you like my guide, and that it helps you. Also if you want to help: If you wish to send your own Strategies/Tips/anything, send them to: frozenfox@hotmail.com Oh Yeah, someone wants to know: How can you play more than one consecutive season?
