I've always wished I could play the whole EA hockey series from 92-00 with the feel of NHL 94 so I made this project for everyone to enjoy. Sadly, season mode, trades, or create-a-player features that appeared in later games are not present. However, I've compiled the rosters from the various games and made a SNES ROM for each year.
ROM Notes:
Extracted rosters from NHLPA 93 - NHL 98 from Genesis(manually transcribed NHL Hockey (92) rosters by matching the jersey numbers in the ROM with players for that season and team using Hockey-Reference.com) and NHL 99 and 2000 from PC.
Some games had a 0-15 attribute scale so I converted to 0-6 to match 94
Player Overall calculated using @kingraph’s player calculation
Team Bonuses(Home/Away/PP/PK) were set based on their season’s stats
Lines set based on top overall players for each team
Team Overall for all ROMs updated(except All-Star and Easter egg teams)
Trimmed every team in every ROM to 20-24 players(except ANH and FLA which are trimmed down to 18 players) by removing the worst overall players due to byte limitations
I did not update jerseys and team colors for any teams in each ROM, except franchise team changes, noted further below
Player portraits updated for each ROM(only if they had one in 94)
Adjusted menu matchup based on the previous year’s Stanley Cup Final teams
ROM-specific adjustments:

Re-labeled All-Star teams to Campbell and Wales
Updated Dallas Stars to Minnesota North Stars including team name, menu banner, and jerseys
