[@newtonstan7864]

I remember getting it for Christmas. I think it's the game I've played the most in my life. Ah, the nostalgia with this game.

[@StevenSiepert2803]

So many memories from playing this game growing up. Huge part of my childhood that’s still a ton of fun to play to this day. Once you learn all the mechanics and know how to play the game itself, it’s an incredible experience all around. The game has a ton of variety in terms of its core gameplay, modes, and challenges. Not to mention that it has quite arguably the best soundtrack in any NHL game. Nothing but bangers on all fronts. I’m glad that you both had fun playing it even if there were some issues that you ran into while playing. I can’t express to you enough how much fun this game truly is and how many times I’ve laughed when playing pee wee mode. Just seeing pee wee hockey players fall on the ice when getting checked is one of the funniest things I’ve seen when playing a game. I just wish you guys got around to knowing the op wrist shot move. No joke, you can actually snipe the puck bar down from the blue line/top of the circle when you enter the opposing teams zone. Just aim for the opposite top corner/side of the net and watch the magic happen. Anyways, keep up the great work as always and now I really want to play NHL Slapshot again.

Forget the switch, they need to make a new classic Wii with updated tracking technology and make more stuff like this. Could you imagine an NHL game with a physical stick where it actually tracks properly? Make it the length of an actual stick and you have the greatest sports game ever made
