Fox Sports: NHL Championship 2000

"NHL Championship 2000 is a poor man's look at NHL hockey. Sub-par gameplay, average graphics, absolutely terrible animation, extremely questionable design choices, and a handful of bugs make it a game only for those with a pathological hatred of EA Sports products. It's an alternative to NHL 2000, yes, but it doesn't give the unbiased much of a choice."

"All you fans of the Powerplay series should be aware that although the developer has remained the same, the game has certainly changed. NHL Championship 2000 should be viewed as an entirely new franchise, and a poor one at that. If you're looking for a good alternative to EA's hockey franchise, then your wait continues."

"If it sounds like there isn't a lot to recommend this title, then you've got the basic idea. The TV-in-your-computer shtick works for the first couple times through, until you realize that it's no more interesting than when you hear it on television. And there you can actually look forward to seeing a hockey game."

"If you’re looking for a good arcade game to waste 5 or 10 minutes here and there, then this may be your title. I cannot recommend this title, as the bugs and other lacking areas keep this game from competing for the Stanley Cup."

"NHL Championship 2000 is a very impressive hockey simulator. In many ways it exceeds the quality of that old hockey-sim king Amiga Wayne Gretzky Hockey. With a few more features - position lock, momentum factors - and a few tweaks to the AI for more offensive punch it could well be the greatest hockey sim of all time."
