NHL '94 Celebration Urban Legend

[McMikey 37]

We have all herd of the NHL '94 Celebration.

YouTube is full of teams doing it on the ice...

Even EA Sports put it into the NHL 94 mode in NHL 14

But its not from NHL 94 from what I can find.

Is it an urban legend?

If not NHL '94 what game is it from??????

We were even doing this celebration in Toronto with Larmer and Anderson. Whoops!

But at least we showed Larmer how to do the one-legged celebration.

This has always confused me...

Since when are '94 players taking awkward dumps on the ice

Is it a mimic of the players lifting the Cup during the Cup winning cele?

If anyone can find me footage of another Hockey game doing this... That would debunk it, If not... cue mystery music

Not any NHL game for Genesis (92-98, Mario Lemieux, Brett Hull)  NHL'99 comes close

I found this article on the celebration:

It does seem that it was meant to look like NHL94. However, that is only mentioned by the author, not the player.

It also looks like the fat player celebration in NES Ice Hockey (classic btw):
