Wisconsin women’s hockey legend Brianna Decker beat the world at Friday’s NHL All-Star Skills competition, but the NHL ended up giving the first-place reward to the second-place finisher.
For All-Star Weekend, the NHL invited women’s hockey stars Decker, Kendall Coyne Schofield, Rebecca Johnston, and Renata Fast to introduce the skills competition. When Decker was called on to demonstrate the passing competition, she completed it in only 1:06.
After Decker casually completed the skill competition with the exact same constraints as the men, the NHLers got their turn, and the best they could do was Leon Draisaitl’s 1:09.
