When you get in a fight don't press any button and you will get a five minute powerplay. If you score a goal, it won't let them out of the box.

As soon as your team scores a goal, press the Z button. You can either hold it or press it repeatedly and you will hear lots of secret cheers from the crowd.

There are numerous scoring strategies, but here are some of the easiest:

• Dash Down the Crease
  Speed-burst down the crease and shoot before the goalie gets there.

• Deke
  On a breakaway, move towards the right or left side of the crease – without going on either side of it. Fake to the opposite side and shoot down the middle.

• Pretend to leave the Zone
  Go behind the net and come out near the boards. As you near the blue line, shoot.

• Spin-O-Rama
  While gliding down the crease, perform a Spin-O-Rama
