Some members of the Chicago Blackhawks, including their GM Kyle Davidson and alumnus Brian Campbell, had varying results in an NHL 94 battle.

It was a blast to the past for a young Chicago Blackhawks roster overall. 

Before Chris Chelios’ jersey retirement night on Sunday, members of the Chicago Blackhawks organization faced off in an NHL 94 challenge. Current players, alumni, and even GM Kyle Davidson, who squared off against longtime NHL defenseman Brian Campbell, played against each other on a SEGA gaming console. 

It was more of a trip down memory lane for Nick Foligno.

“This looks like my bedroom when I was a kid,” Foligno said before playing against Connor Bedard. 

The segment also included some funny moments, one of which showed Mackenzie Entwistle's struggle as he couldn’t figure out how to shoot.

It is fitting that NHL 94 was the game of choice for a night celebrating Chelios’ time with the Blackhawks. In the season before the game's release, Chelios put up 15 goals, 58 assists and 73 points in 84 games during 1992-93, which won him the Norris Trophy. It is also one of the first ever NHL video games, and Chelios was one of the top D-men in the game with a rating of 84 overall. That’s only second to Ray Bourque, who was a near-perfect 99 overall.

NHL 94 is long remembered as one of the classic video games. As it states on the EA Sports website, the game “has a special place in gaming culture.” NHL 94 controls have also been added to newer NHL games, forever immortalizing its legacy. The first time NHL 94’s controls were brought back was for the 20-year anniversary of the game when the controls and graphics appeared in NHL 14.
