Certainly, looks like an arcade hockey game similar to that of the Backyard Hockey 2005, Disney and ESPN gives Nick doing NFL wild card games and Cartoon network NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest a run for their money. I wish they gave all those players their own models in the game though. nitpick aside, this article explains everything behind the scnes here: https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-big-city-greens-classic-adds-new-dimension-to-rangers-capitals-game/c-342182936

Oh man, the new menu looks amazing! SO GOOD!

Ooo - this is cool. So much room for customization has opened up because of @Drezz's work!

Alright. Time to get this one out the door. The Trade Deadline has come and past, so it's about time this update was posted. New to this version: Updated rosters obviously. Revamped Title screen for more colours and nicer artwork. All players can play at any position, so go ahead and put five forwards on the PP or five D-men on the checking line. Goalie Y-button hack has finally been applied. New Menu BG [shout out to the amazing @Drezz] Including some branding. Probably forgetting a couple things, or forgot to fix a couple things... Those can wait for the playoffs. Let me know if something is egregiously wrong. [or if you have any suggestions for future updates too] Updated the original post as well.

We're live (again, because I messed up a banner).

Enjoy... but down, boy hahahaha

Sauce has not logged in since he quit the site and will probably not be back to answer your question or update the ROM in the near future. It’s a bummer, but it’s his choice. We all hack in .bin since that’s primarily what our community’s emulators use, but this (https://www.zophar.net/utilities/segautil.html) should be able to covert our .bins to .mds.

Sauce, on behalf of everyone here, I appeal to you, please reconsider. We shouldn't let 1 person ruin the community and your work. Everybody knows that you are the greatest contributor to the continually updated ROMs every year, multiple times per year. You are the one. And we all know it's your work. (I also enjoyed Naples' ROMs, and hope one day he resumes creating them). But you are the longest and most well-known. We shouldn't let 1 person ruin that.

Hopefully you reconsider, your roms are fantastic! And like was said above, everyone knows who the original OGs are anyway... the community knows what's up

*** UPDATED V1.1 below *** What started as a quick and dirty little project to scratch the itch for modding NHL 94 into a Hockey Night in Canada themed ROM, became a full scale experimental playground. This is the first release of... Based on the 1990 - 1991 season, this mod recreates the league from opening day: October 4th, 1990. Using the famed "Hockey Night in Canada" branding from the late 80s, this ROM features a number of new innovations. A completely revamped intro theme, using the iconic HNIC theme instead of the traditional NHL94 theme. A completely custom main menu screen (featuring the 89-90 cup finalists) Team and player introductions by the famed PBP commentator, Bob Cole (on a completely customized late 80s powder blue HNIC themed background!) In-game menu screen edits (timekeepers, Zamboni & scoreboard branding, team banners, fonts) In-game menu changes - HNIC branded custom backgrounds, colours and fonts Player Cards brought to you by EA Sports (in conjunction with the NHL and PRO SET trading cards) Era specific centre ice logos (shown here: Northlands Coliseum logo in Edmonton) Player sprite modifications for more colour variation and uniform accuracy (shown here: MTL blue helmets, no shoulder stripe tied to arm/sock stripe colours) Cleaned up large heading font (GOAL!) and HNIC/CBC branded scoreboard (bottom left) Molson 3 Stars of the Game (Molson was a HNIC title sponsor in the 80s-90s) The hot-shot rookie goaltender takes on the tried and tested former cup champion. (over 500 original old-school player portraits ingame, as close to the 1990-91 season as possible) Modified goaltender graphics (pads, trapper and NEW masks) ...and many more tweaks and graphic surprises and ideas based on the great work of folks like @clockwise @Jkline3 @AdamCatalyst @Sean@kingraph @smozoma and more... Included in the package: A custom updated version of NOSE 1.2c beta with additional options to properly change colours in any "Drezz" sprite hacked ROM. ---------- Some quick notes about this ROM: - This is version 1.0 of the mod. There are bound to be some weird glitches in there somewhere. If at any point you encounter them, please report them to me and I'll see if they can be rectified or improved upon in subsequent patched releases. - The rosters are based on THE BEGINNING of the 1990-1991 season. Trades and Free Agent Signings were valid up until the 4th of October, 1990. A playoff edition featuring player re-assignments to NEW teams will be released next. - Team strengths and player overalls/stats were based on the results of the END of the 1989-90 campaign. If you are disappointed at the rating given to X player, please note that ratings were based on how players ended the previous season. Rookies will have lower ratings, regardless of historical significance (Jagr, Blake, etc). There is a good chance the same player will have accurately expected ratings according to their effort in the 1990-1991 campaign in the followup PLAYOFF EDITION version. - There are a large number of hacks to this ROM. The intro theme. Custom background and splash screens. In-game sprite overhaul Player portraits for ALL 500+ players Team banners Fonts The ROM was modded to create the illusion of playing Hockey Night in Canada from the early 90s as opposed to being a crummy ROM hack of NHL 94 with HNIC graphics. I hope it transports you back in time to a period before modern expansion, the rise of salary caps and the glory days of hockey's heroes like Lemieux and Gretzky. Enjoy. - Drezz HNIC 90-91 Season v1.1 (NHL 94).zip

Thank you @Stepher1980! Unfortunately, it will be my last one. I warned (in this very thread) that if people kept copy and pasting my original work into their own files (and then posting), I'd stop doing my ROMs. Well, apparently, someone wants to continue to do that and as such, I'm done. They steal from my "way too early" version, make a couple edits and think that isn't ripping me off. Sadly, they admitted to me in private that is exactly what they are doing. Well, now, they will have to do their own research/work. I will continue to make ROMs for a league that I play in but unfortunately, I will not be posting here anymore. One jerk-off had to ruin this despite me asking for them to stop. There are some good folks on this forum and then there are some that are lazy and disrespectful to requests. I'm done asking. Take care.
