NHL 2000

NHL 2000 is the annual ice hockey instalment from EA Sports’ long-running NHL series, developed by Electronic Arts Canada and serving as the successor to NHL 99.

This pressing is dated 30 September 1999 and supports an unusual trilingual line-up of English, Finnish, and Swedish, indicating a UK-and-Nordic export configuration. The single-disc release is identified by disc serial SLES-02225, the first of three distinct serials within this title’s PAL release. Country detail, case type, hologram type, and EAN barcode are all open research items in the database, leaving this variant heavily under-documented at the catalogue level. The Finnish-and-Swedish language pairing is comparatively rare in EA Sports PAL pressings, making this variant of particular interest to Nordic collectors and to those documenting EA’s late nineties regional distribution strategies on the NHL series.
