In the NHL a good player can send a puck into the 80-90mph range, with a few extraordinary players being able to crack 100 mph. During a game, the average passing speed of the puck from player to player is around 30 to 60 mph, variable due to distance and the opposing players in the way. It is the slap shot that the above statement mentions about regarding speed.
At the highest levels of the game a hockey puck can reach speeds of over 100 MPH. The hardest slapshot ever recorded on radar was by Boston Bruins' defenseman Zdeno Chara at the 2011 NHL All-Star Skills Competition, where he recorded a velocity of 105.9 MPH.
This is difficult to quantify... for example, "Hardest Shot" competitions typically involve shooting a puck from a set distance without any other inertia involved, so using these contests as a true measure of a puck's speed in play is unwise. In those competitions, shots over 100 MPH are considered exceptional... in the flow of a game where the one-timing of pucks occurs, etc. the hardest shots can travel well over 100 mph... unsubstantiated reports of up to 120 mph or more have been quoted... but in general, the speed of a very hard slap shot during play is probably between 85-100 mph
the average speed of a hockey puck is 80-90 mph but when its shot to the goal it can excess a speed of 100 mph or more

What type of NHL shot qualifies for a NHL shot on goal?
There is no NHL definition or rule of a shot, therefore, a shot on goal is up to the discretion of the official scorer. But in general terms, a shot on goal is a shot that is taken with the intent to score that either goes into the net for a goal or the goalie saves from going into the net for a goal. A shot that hits the goalpost or crossbar, or a shot the goalie stops that would not have gone in the net is not considered a shot on goal. A clearing pass that goes through everybody and winds up being stopped by the goalie is not considered a shot on goal because there was not intent by the 'shooter' to score a goal. Similarly an errant pass from a teammate that is stopped by the goalie is not considered a shot on goal.
