The current world record is held by Dennis Kulyash of KHL's Avangard Omsk, who slapped a puck at the 2011 KHL All Star Game skills competition in Russia with a speed of 177.58 km/h (110.3 MPH)

...well not really as NHL Stars in 1965 were timed and Bobby Hull had an 118.3 MPH Slapshot, the 37 year-old Gordie Howe had a 114 MPH "wrist-slapshot" where he only lifted his stick a foot or so off the ice. Tim Horton (the one that started the DONUT SHOP Chain) was timed at 112 MPH, and while this Kulyash blast was 2 MPH faster than the 108 MPH slapshot of the 34 year-old Jean Beliveau who used a waist-high backswing it also matched the 110 MPH of Frank Mahovlich. So there are AT LEAST 3 harder recorded shots than this.
Funnier yet is that neither Bobby Hull or Dennis Hull had the hardest shot in their family even! Gary Hull who just played SENIOR HOCKEY had an even harder shot!
