Regional Differences
Only the US version has an NHL license. As a result, the European (EA Hockey) and Japanese (Pro Hockey) versions use international teams instead, resulting in a multitude of changes:
Title Screen
NHL Hockey | EA Hockey | Pro Hockey |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
The title screen background was altered outside of the US, with the European version having a fictional "EA Hockey League" logo in place of the NHL logo. The Japanese version has no logo in that spot.
Team Select Screen
NHL Hockey | EA Hockey | Pro Hockey |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
As with the the title screen, the European version replaces the NHL logo with the EA Hockey League logo. Strangely, the Japanese version does as well, despite not doing so on the title screen.
For whatever reason, "United Kingdom" and "United States" were changed to "England" and "USA" in the Japanese version. The text in the Japanese version is in all-caps, and the names of the majority of the settings changed.
Playoff Bracket
| NHL Hockey | EA Hockey/Pro Hockey |
|---|---|
 |  |
The Stanley Cup was changed to a generic trophy, for obvious reasons. The background and bracket colors are also different.
Stats Screen
NHL Hockey | EA Hockey | Pro Hockey |
|---|---|---|
 |  |  |
The scoreboard in the background says "NHL Hockey" in the US version, and "EAHL Hockey" elsewhere. The names of some of the positions are different in the Japanese version.
