Barenaked Ladies:
Create a player using one of the following names: Jim Creeggan, Tyler Stewart, Steven Page, Ed Robertson, or Kevin Hearn. The game will adjust the players face and statistics automatically to match that band member.

Slap Shot players:
Select the EA Blades team under the custom team category. Enter one of the following players from the Charlestown Chiefs team from the movie Slap Shot and their names will be announced during the game: Reggie Dunlop, Ned Braden, Dave Carlson, Johnny Upton, Morris Wanchuk, and Billy Charlebois.

Bonus players:
Create a player and enter Tom Barrasso or Andrew Raycroft as a name and the game will complete his abilities and stats.

All-Star teams:
Play through a season and finish the All-Star game. Save the game and two All-Star teams will be unlocked at the team selection screen.

Hint: Easy goals:
Skate straight at the goalie. Immediately before you would normally run into him, cut to whatever direction the player's stick is (i.e. if a player is left-handed, cut left.) Immediately after the cut, press Shoot.

Hint: Trade for a higher player:
Keep trading up one or two overall numbers until you get to the player you want. For example, trade Mark Messier (80) trade for Oates (81). Then trade Oates for an 82 and so on.

When trading for higher players you cannot get a high defenseman for anything other than another defenseman.

Hint: Better fight outcome:
When you get yourself into a fight, do not throw any punches. When the fight is over, the other player will get a 5 minute major for fighting and you will only get a 2 minute penalty for roughing.
