 Secret EA Sports Teams :
 In order to get the two secret teams in NHL '97 you must do the
 following: Go into the credits screen and when the picture of all of
 the Programmers appear, type pioneer. Let the credits finish and then
 play in an exhibition game. Scroll down to the bottom of the list of
 teams in the team select screen and EA Sports 1 and EA Sports 2 will
 now appear. 
 
 In the game controller setup, you can click on a teams logo. When you
 do, it should make a high pitched funny sound. What that sound does
 is it activates the alternative third uniforms for Pittsburgh,
 Boston, Vancouver, Los Angeles and Anaheim. It makes a lower duller
 sound for all the other teams, but it only works for the teams that
 have a third jersey
