[. . . ] WARNINGS Read Before Using Your Sega Dreamcast Video Game System CAUTION Anyone who uses the Dreamcast should read the operating manual for the software and console before operating them.

[. . . ] When they do drop the gloves, the players will square off and you'll have the chance to duke it out. Don't get too excited if you win though - both players will leave the ice with a 5 minute major penalty. Button X Action Punch Grab Duck / Avoid Coach's Corner: Control the rebounds A lot of times the goalie will make the initial save, but the puck will ricochet off his pads. The puck invariably ends up in the hands of the attackers and the second shot sneaks past the goalie. When you're on offense make sure you follow your shot in to the goal to try for that second chance. When you're on defense, check the shooter and get to the rebound as quickly as you can.

This is a great way to practice before heading into your season or when you're playing against a friend. Guide your team through the regular season and then on to the playoffs if your team is good enough. Playoffs Do you want the exciting chase of the Stanley Cup but without the grueling regular season?Then select playoffs, pick your team and see if you can lead them to the Championship series. Use this when you have good skaters on the ice and the defense is not putting on a lot of pressure. DEFENSE Forecheck (puck is in the opponent's zone) 1-4 2-2-1 1-1-3 A conservative attack where only the center is forechecking. Use the Zone forecheck to slow down faster teams. Neutral Zone Move Out (puck is in the neutral zone) Positional Regroup Criss Cross Good for a Dump and Chase attack. 1-1-3 1-2-2 2-1-2 This aggressive attack will really press for turnovers. A zone trap is an advanced defensive technique designed to force the puck to the outside. Offensive Zone Positional Triangle Overload The Forwards will come straight across the ice. The Forwards will be on the same side of the net, cycling the puck looking for the open shot. If you've got big players, stand one of your big men up in front of the goalie to pick up the rebounds. Defensive Zone Zone Box and 1 1-2-2 This is a safe defense to call, except when you are outmanned in a penalty killing situation. This is a combination of zone and man coverage. 16 17 FACE-OFFS Offensive Normal Defensive Looks for the immediate shot off the break or an immediate break down the ice. The defensemen will drop back and cover the net on the break. LINE CHANGES The longer your players are on the ice, the more fatigued they become. Your best chance at winning the game comes when you keep your players fresh. Don't call for a line change when the other team is attacking your goal. Wait for your players to cross center ice, then dump the puck into the offensive zone and switch out your players. Button SPECIAL TEAMS Power Play 2-1-2 Funnel Wing Off Side A balanced attack when you have a man advantage.
