Neo5370 132 Report post Posted December 15, 2004 I think the fastest time recorded at an NHL all star game was just a hair over 13 seconds for one lap, a la mike gartner...........anyone ever bring a stopwatch and time yourself? I know not all rinks are the same size but just for kicks.I've never done it myself but I bet my lard ass could haul myself around a rink in about 20-30 seconds <_< :P I think I just found a new years resolution..................

crosskore 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2004 Our team had a skills comp two years ago. For some reason 14/15 seconds is stuck in my head, but I doubt thats the actual time. I'll have to try it out one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GekigangarIII 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2004 I'm so fast, the guy keeping time would probably forget why he's standing there with a stopwatch in his hand by the time I got to him... I can probably change my stick blade faster than I could get around the ice... ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
