Hey there.. first post here.. hope to enjoy the community!

*** 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

Started this one about a year ago and finally finished. For those unfamiliar, the USHL is the top junior league in the U.S. The main difference between the US/Canadian juniors is that 99% of USHL players go on to play NCAA D1 hockey. There were 57 USHL players selected in the 2022 NHL draft including 23 from the US National Team Development Program and 34 from other member clubs. Without further ado: 2023 #2 pick Adam Fantilli scored 37 / 37 in 54 games. 442 player photos: Full playoffs: Accurate center ice logos for the 2021-22 season. As always, thanks to @smozoma @slapshot67 @clockwise and all the fun new tricks made possible by @von Ozbourne @AdamCatalyst @Drezz and @Sean and anyone I may have inadvertently overlooked. 2022 USHL.bin
