JCRGraphix Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Did anybody on these boards ever play NHL Rock the Rink for Playstation One? I had it back when I was 12 and loved it. I loved that there were a whole bunch of cool non-NHL teams to play with.For those of you not familiar, NHL Rock the Rink was an arcade-style hockey game made in 2000 by EA. It featured over-the-top hits and fights as well as 8 cartoonish teams complete with themed player names.I found a ROM for this game and decided to play it again. Let's just say this game didn't age well... I also decided to try to replicate their in-game uniforms as well as come up with uniforms for these teams as if they were a minor league. First up is the Brigade. They are obviously a military-themed team. The roster on the game was:Players:88 Tom Tankster74 Fred Foxhole3 Teddy Trooper4 Carl Cadet77 Sid Soldier6 Ken CavalryGoalie:00 Pierre PlatoonFor their uniforms, I used their double-green color scheme and added sergeant chevrons to the sleeves. I also added an all-camo third... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Next up are the Cabbies.

Dbroalexander Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I loved this game!!! I still have it sitting around somewhere! Oh man, now I have to go find my old Playstation cords and play it again!Only one criticism, I think the Cabbies would look better without the black, besides that, thanks for stirring up all this nostalgic goodness inside me   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Up next are the Demolition. In-game they had yellow hard hat helmets which were cool, but I decided to take my inspiration instead from the Olympics and the Edmonton Oilers...Roster:11 Dan Dynamitilis64 Ed Splosion86 Rich Wrecker3 Sylvain Smasher4 Bill Dozer5 Frank Boomer 00 Chris Crumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ROY Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Man, these are great. Unfortunately I've never played the game, but these would have been perfect. Â Â Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Wasn't a fan of the first concept but you've redeemed yourself nicely with the last two. The cabbie's yellow jersey in particularly, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbroalexander Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I feel like you should also have some jerseys with the sleeves or hem ripped off like those big goons in the game wear hahahaha   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cappital92 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Spending a dollar to pick up Rock the Rink was one of the best decisions I made in high school. Love this series. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I really missed out on that particular game having played NFL Blitz for the PS1 so many years ago.Either way, I love this concept series. The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
