Fastest and slowest NHL forwards and defensemen

[RipsADrive]

I know Robertson was never a burner, but is he still noticeably affected by his offseason foot injury?

No way he could possibly be slower than Corey Perry...

and my question is this a straight line or breaking in and out of traffic?

It’s a cumulative stat, kept for every second of every shift throughout the year, for each player,
So it’s for everything that can happen on the ice .

They're tracked via chips on jerseys. I'm sure they've done data analysis to remove short sample sizes from taking hits or falling down.

I’m not sure how taking hits or falling down would be relevant to any of the stats displayed in the OP

Jerseys trackers watch how fast you're moving, you would move faster being hit than you could at your top speed.

Maroon being the slowest forward is the least surprising stat I've seen.

there's video floating around on youtube of maroon skating backwards during a drill in ducks training camp years ago and it was like watching a low level beer league player

Honestly in awe of players who suck at something essential like skating while still excelling at their profession. Hat's off.
