• Num, Name: Player's ID number and name
• Sh: Shooting
  This is the ability that determines how likely a shot is to go in. As such, it combines shot aiming, shot accuracy, and shot speed. Since the only way to win is to get shots in the net, you certainly need players with this on your roster. But there are other roles to be played, so shooting is not the all-important ability. For goalies, this is the reverse; this ability is the shot blocking ability.
• Ag: Aggressiveness
  A more aggressive player plays harder, makes more hits, breaks up more plays, gets more loose pucks, and spends more time in the penalty box. This one is a tradeoff. For goalies, aggressiveness will influence how much the keeper comes out to challenge a shooter. Again this can be a tradeoff, as a good pass can put the goalie out of position.
• In: Intelligence
  Intelligence is the counter to aggressiveness. A well-disciplined player makes fewer mistakes, even if he is playing aggressively. Discipline also marginally helps players play defense, by being in position to break up passes and block shots.
• Ch: Checking
  How good a player is at checking. This is a really nice one for defensemen, and goes well with speed.
• Sk: Skating Ability
  This ability will help a player get around better on the ice. It is most useful for avoiding checks, breaking up plays, and picking up loose pucks. It can also help create or prevent breakaways. This is a nice one for all players to have. For goalies, the skating ability affects how quickly they move around in the net (which can compensate for aggressiveness).
• Ps: Passing
  This attibute is used by the sender of a pass to determine how accurate it is. It is useful for all players to have this one, although you can get by with a wing who can shoot well but not pass.
• PC: Puck control
  Puck control is used a number of places, but especially in loose puck situations and in receiving of passes and avoiding checks. Puck control is one of the most important abilities that all players have. For goalies, puck control amounts to ability to control rebounds.
• Tr: Training Level
  A player's training level is shown on a scale from 0-25, and shows a player's level of development. The 0-25 scale spans the whole scale from pee-wees up through the NHL. A solid college player should be at or above 10, while a seasoned NHL veteran should be over 20. Note that the level shown here is only a composite of the player's level of training at the different abilities.
• PIM: Penalty Minutes
• +/-: Plus/minus
  This stat tells the number of goals scored minus the number scored against for every 60 minutes the player was on the ice.
• Rst: Rest, measure of a player's fatigue level. 100% is fully rested and 0% (should never be possible) is fully ineffective.
• Ps: position
• Ag/Yr: Player's age
• Injury: estimated number of games for healing; XX is a career-ending injury.
• R: Redshirt status (R=current redshirt, *=past redshirt, X=neither, but has played, -=none of the above; college only)
• S: Scholarship status (S=on scholarship; -=not on scholarship; college only) For incoming recruits, "S" means that the player will want playing time
• Rank: Player ranking (A through F) and preferred position. These use the ranking system used by computer teams, so given the lack of success of those teams these should really only be used by rookie coaches to get a general idea of who's good and who isn't, and what positions they may be best suited for. No differentiation is made between LW/RW and LD/RD; players who prefer those positions are simply listed as W or D, respectively.

• Num, Name: Player's ID number and name
• Ps: Position
• Salry: Salary per season under current contract
• Bonus: Bonus per season under current contract and type (PR=pro-rated bonus paid with each game; UF=up-front bonus paid at time of signing).
• Value-Yr: Value and remaining years of current contract. If between seasons, the remaining years does not count the just-ended season.
• Reneg-Yr-PerY: Renegotiation demand, maximum years he will sign for, and minimum salary per year for long contracts. ----- under reneg means the player will not sign at all; - under years means he will sign for any length of time.
• If a player qualifies for a minor league contract for next season, it is noted, as well as the number of seasons remaining. If he is not signed for next season, this is noted. If he cannot be traded (because he is no longer under contract or he was signed as a free agent), this is noted.

There are two sets of team stats: for and against. For stats are stats your players earned, against stats are stats earned by your opponents.

Team stats are GP, G, S, FOW, FtW, Hit, PP, PPG, and Avg. All but PP and PPG are identical to the definitions above. PP is the number of power plays the team had, and PPG is the number of power play goals.

DEL Cup leagues have additional categories at the beginning of the line: number of tournaments played, number of championships won, series won and lost, and games won and lost.

The analysis page breaks down a team's scoring, shooting percent, loose puck win percent, hits, and blocks by position. All stats are also compared with the league as a whole, with a scale from 0 to 10 given.

The fifth and sixth line types are the 4-man penalty-killing lines, used in 4-on-5 situations, and the standard 4-man lines, used at other times (principally during overtime). There are two penalty-killing lines and three normal 4-man lines, plus a set of reserves for each. In four-man lines, centers can play in either forward spot.

Finally, every team has two three-man lines (plus the reserve line), which are used whenever your team has three skaters. There should be a single forward and two defensemen (one LD, one RD).

To change the players assigned to a line, select lines from the main coaching menu, the type of line, and one of the positions. You are given a menu listing all of the eligible players for that line, of which the top two or three (depending on line type) are assigned to lines, and the third or fourth (again depending on line type) is the reserve. Players below that will not be used.

• Aggression: Hit more, get more penalties. A fairly safe option on a penalty kill line, since it's tough to get a second penalty.
• Neutral zone trap: try to force the opponent to dump & chase on their attack. Forces your team to play more conservative offense.
• Pinching: Brings the the defensemen closer to the net in the offensive zone to try to get more pressure on the defense. Allows more breakaways.
• Wing Breakaway Attempt: Try to send the wings ahead to get breakaway chances. Weakens point defense.
• Long NZ Passes: Try to get the puck ahead quickly; opposite is short, safer passes.
• Neutral Zone Regroup: Pass backward if the attack isn't working well. Opposite is to press on regardless.
• Dump & Chase: Knock the puck into the neutral zone if the attack isn't working well. Opposite is to try to bring the puck in under control.
• Patient Passing: Pass around until a good shot opens up. Opposite is to force a shot quickly.

• Shooter: Try to get the puck to him and let him shoot.
• Passer: Try to use him in passing the puck, both in the neutral zone and offensive zone.
• Handler: Try to use him to advance the puck himself in the neutral zone.
• Forechecker: Generally a wing, use him to forecheck on defense.
• Screen/Rebound: Try to get him in front of the net to screen or deflect shots, and to try to get rebounds.
