A Russian Hockey Player Hits A Puck Harder Than Anyone In The NHL

At last weekend's NHL All-Star gala, Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins won his fourth consecutive hardest shot competition. He did so by hitting 105.9 mph. The Kontinental Hockey League held a similar affair last evening in St. Petersburg, Russia.

There, Denis Kulyash of Avangard Omsk (and eighth round pick of the Nashville Predators in 2004) slapped his way to 110.3 mph. If you trust Russian measurements, that is.
