The Kontinental 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.
