Hockey fans are now able to see which NHL players are among the league's fastest (and slowest) -- and not just at the All-Star skills competition.
"Top Skating Speed" is one of a dozen advanced analytics tabulated on the NHL EDGE stats site. It's the league's new clearinghouse for puck and player tracking data, published for public consumption for the first time. Provided the public has the patience to consume it.
Finding out who's the fastest forward in the NHL? Pretty easy. The top 10 players for each NHL EDGE analytic are updated on the front page of the stats site.
