How fast in a NHL shot?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Some players' slap shots travel at speeds of over 100 MPH.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

It depends on how hard you shoot the puck.
