Soundtrack[]
Original score composed from NHL 15 is also available if soundtrack is set to NHL 20 Theme.
When booting up the game for the first time, the first song that plays is always Haviah Mighty - Champion. After that, all songs play in a linear order. For subsequent boot ups, the first song is chosen at random, but the order of songs that play after is always the same. After the last song is played, the order loops.
The order of songs that play in-game is displayed on the left most column.
