Introduction
============
This section is to help you to win games more easily, and so that you can
trash your friends. 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)
(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
(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.
(1) Make 'em Run
In this you try to pass it around as much as possible, wearing
the opponents stamina away, and then when they go off to make
a line change, you can slot it in.
(2) Use the extra man
Try and make best advantage of the one man advantage, by passing
it to the free player and have him shoot.
(3) Use the extra man #2
The same as the above strategy, but this time, make him skate
toward the goal to draw the goalie, then pass, to a now unmarked
player for him to score.
(4) One word: Shoot!
I don't need to explain this one, but it involves shooting
repeatedly. And that's it...
PenaltyKilling
==============
(1) Hit it away
As soon as you get it hit it up the ice, there'll be no icing,
since you're on PK.
(2) Keep it away from the opposition
As soon as you get the puck, keep it, but when the enemy(that's
what they are, the enemy) comes near, pass to a free player,
and so on.
(3) The counter-attack
This is the best PK strategy if it works! Big Hit the player in
your end, and immediately pass it to your most-forward player,
hopefully he'll get a breakaway, and you can cash in.

If you see any more, or see longer injuries send them in.
For some there is no length, that is because I have only seen these listed
as "Indefinately" in the game. Send in the length of these injuries.
But only if the injuries say "Out with X 2-3 Weeks", not "Recovering From X".

Introduction

The commentators for the game are:
Jim Houston and Bill Clement
This is for the individual player comments. Send in any I don't have.
You can also correct any mistakes, as I have made many.
Any ???? or .... should be filled in.
The credit for any changes is shown in the Updates Section.
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 Hobey Baker Award 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."
ATLANTA
=======
"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 Gil Perreault and Pat LaFontaine."
"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."
"Miro Satan is a Slovak and went to the 1998(?) World Championships, and led
that team in goals."
CALGARY
=======
CAROLINA
========
"Like most players around the world when Sami Kapanen 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
========
"The one thing you notice about Ray Bourque is that he is a workhorse.
Remember that game in '99 where he played 53 minutes in double overtime against
Carolina, and had enough energy left to assist with the winning goal."
"When players are asked to name their idols, they usually say Gretzky and
Lemieux. But not Chris Drury, he said Doug Weight would be the player he'd
pay to watch."
"You know Colorado Avalanche had great expectations Chris Drury 'cause he won
Hobey Baker Award..........he won Calder Trophy as NHL's rookie of the year."
"Peter Forsberg is the only player in hockey world who can say his has been in
every mailbox in Sweden. Comemerating his gold medal winning goal in Olympics,
the Swedish Post published a stamp for him."
"Even before Milan Hejduk joined the NHL, he was big on the world Hockey
scens. He won a gold medal with Czech Republic at the '98 Olympics."
"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
=======
"When Nicklas Lidstrom started playing, he was told you'd have to be nasty
to get anywhere in the NHL. Well, Lidstrom has never finished a season with
over thrity penalty minutes, and he plays against all the top players on
the other teams."
EDMONTON
========
"Ya' Know Sean Brown was involved in an NHL trade before he was even in the
NHL, Thats right Jim he was still a junior and he was traded to the Islanders
before he was drafted."
"Ya' Know when Sean Brown came into the NHL he Knew something that is a real
truth and is you have to stick up for your self, Thats right Bill he took on
some tough guys and picked himself up 155 minutes of penalty minutes."
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."
"I'm sure that there's nobody in the NHL who loves to score as much as Pavel
Bure. In the 93/94 Season he led the NHL with over 50 Goals and took the
Canucks all the way to the Stanley Cup Playoffs."
LOS ANGELES
===========
MINNESOTA
=========
MONTREAL
========
NASHVILLE
=========
NEW JERSEY
==========
"When you're talking about New Jersey Devils' scoring lines, one name always
seems to come up. Patrik Elias seems to have.....
NY ISLANDERS
============
NY RANGERS
==========
"Bill, didn't Brain Leetch do his country proud. Yeah, in 1994 he became
the first American to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP."
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.

Firstly, choose which crappy player you want rid of. Then go to the
Trades screen, and select him as your player to trade. Trade with
any other team for a Forward player of around the same stats. If your
player is already a forward, skip the previous bit. Next, trade the
forward for another forward from a different team - make sure the
forward is around 3-5 points overall better than your player.
Sometimes you can get it up to 7, but it's very rare. Keep trading
for better players until you get in the high-80s. Now it gets harder
to get better players, so just go up 1 or 2 points each time. Keep
going until you get the player you want. If the player you want is
a Defender or a Netminder, you'll have to get a player 3 or more
points above him, and trade to get him.

Q.
How can you play more than one consecutive Career?
A.
Don't think you can, only in the PC Version.
Question 2
==========
Q.
Where is NHL Challenge, I can't seem to find it?
A.
It's only a feature in the PSone version.
Question 3
==========
Q.
How do I use my created player outside season mode?
A.
Sorry mate, you can't do that either. Unless, of course you made your
player before starting the season and saved the roster file.
Question 4
==========
Q.
How do I start my second year?
A.
After you win the plaoffs or get knocked out any games
remaining will be simulated and the Awards list will
appear, press start to continue to the Draft and Free
Agents and the your next season should start.
Question 5
==========
Q.
Who are the hidden players in the game?
A. (by nemesis153)
Thought that you might like to know how to access the "hidden players"
in NHL 2001. There were a number of NHL players that didn't make it onto
the default rosters for each team for various reasons, such as being a
free agent, or on a minor league affiliate. EA didn't leave all of these
players out of the game, just hid them. In order to unlock a hidden
player, go to the create player screen and enter the player's full name
into the appropriate sections. You should then receive a message saying
"there is a player with that name in the player database. Would you like
to create a player like him?" select yes and the stats and vital info
for that player will automatically load, all you have to do is hit start
a couple of times and assign him to the correct team. These are not
simply statistical copies of the players either, the announcers actually
will refer to them by name, just like any other player in the game. So
here's the list of hidden players I have found, the position they play
(Forward, Defenceman or Goalie), and the teams that they belong on as of
November 3, 2001.
Garth Snow-(G) New York Islanders
Rico Fata-(F) New York Rangers
Wade Belak-(D) Toronto Maple Leafs
Arron Asham-(F) Montreal Canadiens
Benoit Gratton-(F) Montreal Canadiens
Kyle Calder-(F) Chicago Blackhawks
Shean Donovan-(F) Minnesota Wild
Denis Gauthier-(D) Calgary Flames
Andreas Johansson-(F) New York Rangers
Jamal Mayers-(F) St. Louis Blues
Karel Rachunek-(D) Ottawa Senators
Petr Schastlivy-(F) Ottawa Senators
Brent Johnson-(G) St. Louis Blues
Jani Hurme-(G) Ottawa Senators
Alfie Michaud-(G) Vancouver Canucks
(thanks to nemesis153 for the above answer)
Other players that I(AlaskaFox) have found are:
Kevin Sawyer-(F) Anaheim Mighty Ducks
Phil Housley-(D) Chicago Blackhawks
Alexander Karpotsev-(D) Chicago Blackhawks
Aaron Downey-(F) Chicago Blackhawks
Grant Marshall-(F) Columbus Blue Jackets
Jyrki Lumme-(D) Dallas Stars
Willie Mitchell-(D) Minnesota Wild
Reid Simpson-(F) Montreal Canadiens
Jason Podollan-(F) New York Islanders
Kevin Haller-(D) New York Islanders
Jason Krog-(F) New York Islanders
Dale Purinton-(F) New York Rangers
Scott Hannan-(D) San Jose Sharks
Jamal Mayers-(F) St.Louis Blues
Mike Keane-(F) St. Louis Blues
Vaclav Prospal-(F) Tampa Bay Lightning
Herbert Vasiljevs-(F) Vancouver Canucks
Craig Berube-(F) Calgary Flames
Question 6
==========
Q.
Who are the commentators in the game?
A.(again, by nemesis153)
I have a rather trivial, but nonetheless interesting piece of info about
the announcers in the game: Jim Hughson works for CTV sportsnet (the
Canadian version of Fox Sportsnet) doing the play-by-play for all the
Canadian teams' games. Bill Clement, I believe, works for ESPN, doing
colour commentary on NHL broadcasts. The rink announcer is actually the
announcer for the Vancouver Canucks (which makes sense, considering that
the Canucks did most of the motion capture and such because EA has it's
Canadian office just outside of Vancouver).
Question 7
==========
Q.
Who was used as the models for the game(motion capture)?
A.
See above, but if you don't want to do that: It's the Vancouver Canucks.
Question 8
==========
Q.
How do I get suspended?
A.
You need to get a helluva' lot of penalties in one match.
Question 9
==========
Q.
What's a natural hat-trick?
A.
It's when you score, assist, and win a fight.

Welcome to the guide thats: "Holyer than Mother Tereasa".
Well according to one of my loyal fans, it is. I'm not sure if that's
meant as a compliment. ^_^
Since I didn't do an Introduction, I thought I'd do an Outroduction. 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 not many), 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:
