NHL PLAYER RATINGS AND STATISTICS v2.0

Features a new and improved format using MS Excel and includes the
players 1996/97 stats as well as their attributes, personal info and
draft year/position on one easy to read line. Everything you ever
wanted to know about those NHL hockey players! (well, almost everything)

Also included are the 1997/98 rosters which include the players stats
from last season ranked by most points scored and the teams total and 
1996/97 standings.

For some reason, in the Player stats file, pages 17-32 have garbage
and are not needed; only problem is I can't seem to delete it! So the
easy work around is to simply choose to print pages 1 through 16.
For all of the files, I've saved them as they best appear for printing
results. For the PLAYER AND GOALIE files, be sure to put LEAGAL SIZE
PAPER(14"x8") in your printer before going ahead with the print option.
There's a lot of info there and it's the only way it will fit! For the 
TEAM DATA file, regular sized paper is fine.
 
It looks really cool when it's printed out though, especially if you
can do it on a laser printer. I used it at a Leaf game a few days ago
and the guy beside me thought it came with the official team magazine!
I told him how I did it and when he saw all of the info that was there,
he gave me his email address so he could get a copy! Even if you aren't
into NHL '98 or PP '98, it's great just for any hockey fan as well who
wants to have that little extra bit of information on each hockey
player, all in one easy to read format.

Additional Information																				

The rosters that were used for this spreadsheet are courtesy of ZRs
updated rosters (link below). 																				

All players are rated by John Rosasco of the New York Rangers and are
the default ratings that came with Electronic Arts NHL98. All data 
was extracted using Tony Wilen's NHL'98 editor. The data was then sorted,
grouped and aligned properly using Excel for Windows 95. 																				

The only changes are the addition of several rookies for the current
1997/98 NHL season and a few players that were not included in the
original rosters, all of which were created by ZR and are solely based 
on his own personal opinion.
