NHL '94 is an ice hockey simulation game launched by EA Sports in 1993, available on multiple platforms including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). As the third entry in the NHL series, it was the first to secure dual licensing from the National Hockey League (NHL) and the NHL Players' Association (NHLPA), featuring all 26 teams of the era and their real player rosters. The game introduced the one-timer mechanic, where players shoot immediately after receiving a pass, boosting match realism and pace. Additionally, players can manually control the goaltender, adding strategic depth. Game modes include exhibition matches, playoffs (single-elimination or best-of-seven), and shootouts. Notably, it also includes team-specific organ music, such as the Hartford Whalers' "Brass Bonanza", to enhance immersion. Praised for its outstanding gameplay and innovation, NHL '94 is regarded as one of the greatest sports games of all time.
