So EA didn't release a PC version of NHL 10 (not a huge loss because the story with that game is similar to FIFA...each version basically a patch over the last).
What's happened instead is more people playing NHL 2004. The reason is because of how customizable the game is. Also because of how good the AI is in this game. Playing against the CPU is actually just as fun as playing a human opponent. Online play against human opponents is also good because of simplicity. Anyways, a modern 2009/10 mod (which updates NHL, DEL, SM Liiga, Elite league) was released for the game and it's the only PC hockey game which receives regular updates, NHL09 is dying out. There are also other mods like a 96/97 season mod and a classic mod being developed right now. You can find more info and download the mod here:

You can buy the game cheap from online for $2-5 USD. It's also readily available on the internet.
Here's a picture and video of how the game looks with the modern mod:

I'm starting an online season for the modded version of NHL 04. I thought it'd be fun to get some people from Soccergaming to join in. You can find more info and info on how to play online here:
