The hardest shot in NHL history — one Stanley Cup and seven Norris Trophy podium finishes.
Allan MacInnis was born in Inverness, Nova Scotia in 1963. Calgary Flames selected him 15th overall in the 1981 NHL Draft. His 23-season career produced 340 goals and 934 assists for 1,274 career points. He won the Stanley Cup with Calgary in 1989 and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. He won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenceman in 1999 with St. Louis. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007 and named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in 2017. His slap shot was officially measured at 100.4 mph — the hardest shot in NHL history at the time — and was so feared that opposing players refused to block his shots. He was the winner of the NHL Skills Competition hardest shot event eight times. He scored 340 goals from the blue line — an extraordinary total reflecting both his shot quality and his intelligent offensive positioning. He was selected to seven All-Star games.
