Bonus players: 
--------------
* Create a player using one of the following names of members of the 
  band Alien Ant Farm: Terence Corso, Mike Cosgrove, Dryden Mitchell,
  or Tye Zamora. The game will adjust the players face and statistics
  automatically to match that band member. 

* Create a player using one of the following names of members of the 
  band Gob: Theo Gobzinakis, Gabe Metal, Gob Stomper, Tom Whacker, Pat
  Wolfman, or Craig Would. The game will adjust the players face and 
  statistics automatically to match that band member. 

* Look at the credits screen in the game and choose any name from the 
  EA development team. Enter that name at the create player option. The
  game will tell you that it has this player in its database, and auto
  matically adjusts the stats and appearance accordingly. For example,
  try the names Roy Armes, Dean Richards, Pin Tang, or Dave Warfield.

* Go to the "Create A Player" option in the "My NHL" selection. Then 
  enter Niklas Kronwall as a player name. A message similar to "This 
  player already exists. Would you like to create the same player?" 
  will appear. Select "Yes" and the game will create Niklas Kronwall.
  Sign him to his original team, the Detroit Red Wings.


Zamboni machine:
----------------
Get the puck during game play in Dynasty mode. Skate to a safe place 
then type Azamboni to have the away team will drive a Zamboni machine
on the ice or Hzamboni to have the home team will drive a Zamboni 
machine. 


No injuries:
------------
Keep your roster at only the minimum number of players. 


Goalie scraps:
--------------
Take one of your enforcers and get as close to your goalie as possible. 
Then, smash another player into your goalie. This causes interference 
with the goalie and will make him mad. If this is done correctly or enough 
times, you should see your goalie grappling with a player then he will 
fight with the other goalie. It is difficult to get him to scrap, 
but when he does it is well worth it. 
Note: It will take some time to get this to happen.


Easy goals:
-----------
When you have the puck, swing around the opponent's net. If the goalie
is on the other side, then shoot with back hand shot. 
Note: This best works with two players, so that other person can distract
the goalie.


Easy experience points:
-----------------------
For easy experience points in GM mode, sign a free agent during the regular
season and trade him for a draft pick or for nothing. This should net you 
20 experience points each time it is done. Note: The game eventually stops
giving you points for doing this.


Bouncing puck:
--------------
Go to game settings menu and adjust the "Puck Friction", "Puck Gravity" 
and every option you can adjust on that screen that has to do with the 
puck. Go to a game and shoot the puck down the ice. If it does not hit 
the goalie, the puck should be bouncing all over the place until it runs 
out of speed. 


Get puck back:
--------------
If you are down by a goal late in the game and the other team has the 
puck, move your "Offensive Quick Play" to "All Out Attack" and your 
"Defensive Quick Play" to "High Pressure" to put maximum pressure on 
the opposing team so you can get the puck back in your possession.


Getting good players:
---------------------
In dynasty mode, rack up on draft picks by signing unwanted free agents 
and trading them to random teams for draft picks. 
Doing this also earns you GM experience points.


Getting rookies:
----------------
In order to get new rookies such as Atlanta's Kari Lehtonen and Detroit's 
Niklas Kronwall, look at the European Elite League teams. There are many 
rookies that can be found there and can be traded onto their proper teams.


Goalie scraps:
--------------
Take one of your enforcers and get as close to your goalie as possible. 
Then, smash another player into your goalie. This causes interference with 
the goalie and will make him mad. If this is done correctly or enough times, 
you should see your goalie grappling with a player then he will fight with 
the other goalie. It is difficult to get him to scrap, but when he does it 
is well worth it. Note: It will take some time to get this to happen.


Easy goals:
-----------
For easier goals, switch sides for a little bit, Go the options for the 
other team, pull their goalie and continue playing for awhile as the opposing 
team. Have your former team steal the puck and shoot an empty-netter. Just 
before shooting, switch back and continue. 
Pass to your favorite player, then shoot it.


Getting good players:
---------------------
Use the following trick to get high draft picks without trading good players.
Once a draft is completed, see which teams took the first few picks and remember
their names. Go to the "Trade Players" screen in the GM menu. The team that just
took their first round pick will usually trade away that player for a third or 
first round pick. Note: You do not receive your draft picks to trade until the 
beginning of the next season.

Good Players:
-------------
Go to "Custom Teams" and make a team. When you are done making your adjustments,
go to the section where you can pick players from the different teams of the 
league. Take all of the ones (except only take three goalies) with an overall
rating of 90 or more. When you are done, if you only have about three or four
defensemen, take all the defense you can with a rating of about 80 or more. 
When you get to the part where all the teams are shown, take away any team 
desired and substitute your custom team. Once you are in dynasty mode, sim 
through the entire season. You have a very good 94.3% chance of getting the
Stanley Cup. Your salary will be very high at the start, but get the lawyers
up as high as it can go and in about three or four years you will have a very
good profit. Make sure you do not make any trades. Also, let the CPU do the 
draft for you. 


Easy goals:
-----------
Use the following trick to get an easy goal about 75% of the time. Take the 
puck down the ice very fast with your winger (either side works). Stop at the
goal line at the board. Make sure that nobody comes and picks the puck from 
you. Your center man will most likely be standing directly in front of the 
goal. Wait until you have a clear pass to him then do a one-timer and he will
score. You will probably have to move around a lot to get the open slot, and
to keep from getting picked off.
