摘要

At the NHL All-Star skills contest in January, Boston Bruins defense-man Zdeno Chara blasted a puck at 108.8 mph-the hardest NHL slap shot on record. The 6-foot-9-inch, 255-pound Slovakian did it with the help of a short, self-taught, shaggy-headed Californian he's never met. f Isaac Garcia of athletic gearrnmaker Warrior Sports designedrnChara's stick in suburban San Diego,rnaided by a slap-shot-taking robot,rna stick-breaking machine, and a layman's guide to physics.
