Pro reference, in plain view.
NHL EDGE is the league’s puck and player tracking. Its top bands are shot attempts of 100+ mph and speed bursts of 22+ mph, and the hardest shot and fastest skater it has tracked hit 106 mph and 24.94 mph. We show those beside the shot speeds and sprint times you log, labeled as pro reference — not your data, and not a target.
Real pro numbers, compared honestly.
Published numbers
The NHL EDGE bands and records come from NHL.com, with every source cited below and the date we last checked them (November 2026).
Shot speed, same axis
Log a radar-gun reading in Analytics and your shot speed (mph) sits on the same axis as the 100–106 mph EDGE pro range, so the comparison is direct.
Skating speed, as context
Skating speed is shown as labeled context only — never converted onto your timed-sprint chart, because there is no honest way to do that.
The published NHL EDGE numbers.
Public NHL EDGE pro-game numbers from NHL.com, last checked November 2026. They are reference, not your measured data and not a percentile, and they don’t update on their own.
- Shown same-axis in mph
Shot velocity
- Top shot-speed band NHL EDGE counts
- 100+ mph
- Hardest shot tracked in a game
- 106 mph
Tage Thompson’s 106 mph shot attempt on Dec. 31, 2024 is the hardest NHL EDGE has tracked in a game. EDGE counts shot attempts in speed bands up to 100+ mph. Your own shot speed is in mph too, so it sits on this same axis.

Skating speed
- Top speed-burst band NHL EDGE counts
- 22+ mph
- Fastest skating speed tracked in a game
- 24.94 mph
Beck Malenstyn’s 24.94 mph in March 2026 is the fastest skating speed NHL EDGE has tracked in a game. EDGE counts speed bursts from 18 mph up. That is a top speed in mph, and your own skating metric is a timed sprint in seconds (lower is better), so there is no defensible conversion between them — it is shown as labeled context, never converted onto your chart.
- NHL.com, Oct. 2023: the NHL EDGE website launch, with leaders in speed bursts of 22+ mph and shot attempts of 100+ mph, and data back to 2021-22
- ESPN, Oct. 2023: speed bursts counted at 18–20, 20–22 and 22+ mph, and shot speeds in four bands up to 100+ mph
- NHL.com, Jan. 2025: Tage Thompson’s 106.0 mph shot attempt, the hardest of the EDGE era
- NHL.com, March 2026: Beck Malenstyn’s 24.94 mph, the fastest skating speed of the EDGE era, past Miles Wood’s 24.82
Questions, answered.
- How hard do NHL players shoot?
- NHL EDGE counts shot attempts in speed bands, the top one being 100 mph or more. Tage Thompson’s 106 mph shot attempt on Dec. 31, 2024 is the hardest NHL EDGE has tracked in a game. These are published pro-game numbers, not a target we set for you.
- How fast do NHL players skate?
- NHL EDGE counts a speed burst from 18 mph, with 22 mph or more as its top band. Beck Malenstyn’s 24.94 mph in March 2026 is the fastest skating speed NHL EDGE has tracked in a game. These are pro-game numbers, shown here as context only.
- Are these my own numbers?
- No. They are public NHL EDGE pro-game numbers, not your measured data and not a validated percentile. We check them against NHL.com by hand (last checked November 2026), so they are not a real-time feed.
- Why isn’t skating speed compared directly to my sprint?
- NHL EDGE skating is a top speed in mph, while your own skating metric is a timed sprint in seconds (lower is better). There is no honest way to convert between them, so the EDGE skating speed is shown as labeled context only — never as a converted line on your chart.
- Where do these numbers come from?
- They come from NHL EDGE, the league’s puck and player tracking, as published on NHL.com, with every source cited on this page. They are reference benchmarks only, last checked November 2026 rather than pulled in real time.
