haha...that's the nineties in a nutshell..."ROBOTS!...We need more robots!...why?...fuck the reasoning...robots kick ass!"...that was pretty much the marketing pitch behind this one
I miss Hockey on Fox it had an awsome theme they should've never changed to the rock theme, it sounded good the way it is, maybe one day they'll bring it back
I thought these robot animations were awesome back in the day, but now they seem incredibly corny. Props to Fox for trying to do something different with sports broadcasts, though.
Fox really knows how to add spice to everything... just not sure if I like it or dislike it. I am sure I shall make up my mind sometime before I die...
Sure, Fox went overboard with the glowing puck, but man I loved those robots as a kid. CBC did try a similar thing a few years later with a CG intermission cartoon for kids that featured robot hockey players. Anyone remember that?

Weekend afternoon games on FOX were badass. The NHL needs to have a weekend game or two every week during the season on a network channel. Unfortunately all we get is more golf, skateboarding and bull riding.
MEMORIES! That's what I call Old Time Hockey in the 90's!!

I think one of them changed sports and became Cletus the NFL robot.

All of you who think Fox did a better job aren't real hockey fans. The glowing puck? Seriously? Versus does such a better job, its not even close.

NHL broadcasting rights should go to FOX(local tv) and ESPN (cable/sat TV) and ESPN360(internet TV) then NHL will rule the world.

1st one, Avs vs. Blackhawks. 2nd one/3rd one is the allstar game. 4th one is Hawks vs. Avs. 5th/6/7/8/9/10 one allstars

NHL on Versus is pretty good. They should try to get it back on FOX instead of NBC.

As a child, I loved watching those robots. As an adult, I think, "This gets old fast."
Hockey was the only sport FOX did well.

if people want to see the NHL back on FOX, I suggest FOX do the following:
i) discontinue or limit use of the Foxtrax
ii) broadcast a game in primetime once in a while
iii) CANCEL AMERICAN IDOL!!!!

No matter how much people hated the Fox broadcasts, it was a whole hell of a lot better than having games stuck on shitty channels like Versus.

I love it when people post this stuff for the kids who get intrigued by it.
I believe this was from either 1996 or 1997. When the Blackhawks were still selling out 21,000 seats. LOL!
NHL on FOX was badass. I miss it as they only had it for like four or five years. Once it went to ABC it headed downhill as far as weekend coverage.
The NHL might be on the rise in the next ten years because the sport is due after having so many years suffering.
