so many good ones
The early Rock'Em Sock'Em ones are classics of course.
Ice Hot and Ice Hot 2 I liked as that was the time I was just getting into hockey.
The tapes with funny plays and "bloopers" were always good, Hockey the Lighter Side and the like.
Some training videos were pretty good. Gretzky had a few of these, but I liked How to Skate like a Pro with Paul Coffey the most cause it's still so cool to see him skate.
Of course, I can't forget some of the Red Wings season retrospectives. The Hockeytown series of tapes after the three cup wins were great, but I'm happy that I got my hands on some of the earlier retrospectives which are less known. Just a Matter of Time! (1986-1987), We're for Real! (1987-1988), Triumph and Tears (1988-1989), and Poised for Glory (1991-1992) were all really well done. Anyone know if there are others? Would love to see a Wings retrospective after the 1992-1993 season if it exists.
Probably the one favorite of them all has to be:
The format with the player interviews, Dennis Leary, Dan Moriarty, and of course Dave Coulier being hosts, really add to the goal highlights. Just the NHL at the end of probably its brightest moment with its brightest stars, but includes some historic goals as well from decades past.
It's nice that many of these are now on YouTube, but of course I prefer having the actual tapes of some of these, with a VCR and a tube TV from the time to go with it.

Here’s one I can’t seem to track down. When I was learning goaltending back in the early nineties I took a tape out from the library and it was a How to video staring Patrick Roy. He must have been young because he was still wearing the old brown leather pads. I’ll never forget the demo on not letting in a wraparound and the echo effect they put on his voice “if they score on a wraparound it’s your fault! Your fault….your fault…your fault” it sounded so ominous I didn’t let in a wraparound in 15 years.
