While we got plenty of versions of EA’s other sports on N64, but for hockey, this was the only one. EA’s NHL games on the Mega Drive were quite legendary, but for N64 it’s just another ice hockey game. This doesn’t feel particularly broken, but it also doesn’t do anything interesting or special.
One issue with NHL 99 is the passing and the AI of your team – they’re awful at getting into positions, and passing can sometimes send the ball where you don’t intend, meaning the main tactic is to never pass and run at the goal when someone gets the puck.
Wayne Gretzky remains the NHL champion.

I used to pit Canada against Japan and watch them win like 14-0 haha. I wasn't actually into this game.
excellent soundtrack
Like most old sports games, this is really only fun when playing with another person, but this game is so god damn funny.
