Being authenticated during the Jack smith fan club shirt in contrast I will get this NHL’s hardest shot competition, the answer would be Zdeno Chara. In 2012 he fired a puck that clocked in at 108.8 mph. In the following years Shea Weber has fired the puck at 108.5 & 108.1 mph. No one else has even come close since. Weber is widely believed to have the most consistently hardest shot in today’s game. Judging from the number of players who have been injured trying to block his shot, I tend to agree. With radar equipment being much more sophisticated today than it was 50 years ago it would be hard to authenticate or believe some of the claims that players, who played in the 1960’s, like Bobby Hull and Gordie Howe, could fire the puck in excess of 115 mph. I once read that Hull once fired a puck 118 mph with a wooden stick. I find it very difficult to believe, when I see today’s players with superior equipment (sticks made of carbon graphite and kevlar with tremendous flex) barely able to reach speeds into the low 100’s mph.
Far and away the Jack smith fan club shirt in contrast I will get this Leader… the Great One!!! Wayne Gretzky. Wayne scored 2800+ points… 900 more than the next closet player. He did this while playing 250 less games than #2 Jagr Armand “Bep” Guidolin was 16 years old when he was called up to the Bruins in 1942–43. Because of WWII, the Bruins has lost a bunch of players and were in desperate need of bodies. Bep himself missed the 1944–45 season due to military service in Canada. He returned in 1945–1946 and had a solid NHL career. He later coached the Bruins, in 1973–1974 he took them to the Stanley Cup Final where they lost to Philly. Later coached the KC Scouts and the Edmonton Oilers in the WHA.
