Update on the Mark Mancari Update


Mark Marncari breaks "Hardest Shot" record at AHL All-Star Skills Competition

Binghamton, N.Y. - Canadian forward Mark Mancari of the Rochester Americans shattered the American Hockey League record in the "Hardest Shot" event Sunday at the AHL All-Star Skills Competition.

The London, Ont., native - added as a replacement for Clarke MacArthur, who is on recall with the Buffalo Sabres - received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd with a blistering shot that registered 102.8 miles per hour on the radar gun.
"I had no idea I could get one that hard," Mancari said. "I'm in shock right now. I'm pretty excited." Mancari's stick is on its way to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
