NHL EDGE gives fans and media access to metrics such as skating speed, distance traveled, goaltending performance and more.
For the test of time, hockey fans have only really been able to answer that question with the fastest skater competition at All-Star weekend – or if they were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a piece of data that flashed on the screen during a recent broadcast.Until today, for the first time, when you’re able to look up and see that Winnipeg Jets forward Rasmus Kupari surprisingly holds that mark through the opening two weeks of the season, hitting a league-best peak speed of 23.95 mph on Oct.
The NHL was patient in parsing through the data to now present it to fans in an easily digestible way on NHL EDGE. There are natural limitations to EDGE, of course. One thing missing is historical context. Since player and puck tracking only began in 2021, this is only the third season of data, stretching back to 2021-22. The data is not updated in real time, meaning the leaderboards will refresh overnight after games. And it isn’t possible to go through the play-by-play granularly to find out how fast a skater was moving on one specific play unless it set a new peak.
