110.3 MPH Slap Shot

[NV]

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia -- The Continental Hockey League says Russian defenseman Denis Kulyash has smashed hockey's hardest shot record.

Kulyash hit 110.3 mph at the KHL All-Star skills competition Saturday, easily topping the record 105.9 mph shot Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins registered last weekend during NHL All-Star festivities in Raleigh, N.C.

The 27-year-old Kulyash, who plays for Avangard Omsk in the Russian-based league, has 11 goals and 24 points in 46 games this season.

He was an eighth-round pick of the Nashville Predators in 2004, but has never played in the NHL.

Chara, a 6-foot-9 defenseman, has won the hardest shot competition during the past four NHL All-Star skills competitions.

Wow, he easily beat Chara's 105.9 record. 110.3 MPH for a slap shot is insane.

(Btw I wasn't really sure where to put this, but since it has to do with breaking Charas record I just put it in here.)

I thought 105 was fast. This is just insane. Just imagine a slap shot like that coming at you. If I were a goalie, I'm getting the hell out of the way from that.

Some say you actually get a harder clapper with a wooden.
