His winning blast in 2015 of 108.5 miles per hour is the second-hardest ever, 0.3 mph off the record of 108.8 set in 2012 by Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who will not participate this year.
"I think the whole evening is going to be great," said Arizona Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet, who will coach the Pacific Division. "Watching the Canadian and U.S. women play 3-on-3, it's going to be very competitive. The hardest shot, fastest skaters, those are must-see events."
Tocchet, who played in the All-Star Game four times, was asked which event he'd participate in if he was still playing.
"Target shooting. Because it doesn't involve skating," he laughed.
