We’ve got some incredibly talented players taking part, so without further delay, let’s get into it!

This challenge will involve the player being positioned at center ice, attempting to get the puck into 6 different targets scattered all across the offensive zone.

Up last, but certainly not least, we have the Save Streak Challenge! This challenge pits Goalies against Players from their opposite Conference in a test of endurance and skill. The Tendies will face six shots, in which if they allow a goal, they’re allowed to continue. After the seventh shot however, if a goal is allowed the streak will end. The Goalies competing for best brick wall are: Karl Herzlich @LastGoon007, Boolie Buchholz @Jacob buchholz, Devon Giguere @omniscius, and Clark @cl4rk

Overall, an incredible showing by our VHLM All-Stars. Everybody involved should be proud of the work that they put in, and enjoy the pride of representing their teams and the league in this head on head of the best the M has to offer. That’ll do it for this presentation of the VSN’s coverage of the S89 VHLM All Star Skills Competition. I'm Marcus Svedberg, wishing you all a good night!

11.37 seconds isn't bad at all for a 6'8, 250 lb oaf at all!

Is this rng or is there a calculator for these events 

[Daniel Janser 2,213]

so the 570ft of a full lap were absolved in 9.11 seconds.

 

That is an average speed of 62.57ft/s or 19.08m/s (68.688 km/h (42.68mph)).

 

As a comparison: WR in short track skating is 500m in 39.505s = 12.66m/s or  45.564 km/h (28.312mph)

 

Considering that the short track athletes do it without any cumbersome protection gear and without a stick but with special skates designed for speed, this leads to the unambiguous conclusion that VHLM players are simply built differently.

 

(I love the event and do not mean to downplay it, I just wondered at the times and did some math)

It was calculated using a lot of math that I didn’t understand by our champion editor @Alex

Here's the formulas used:
Fastest Skater: = (100 - SK rating)/2 * ((Random# between 1500 and 2000)/100)*2.5

Passing: = (100 - PA rating)/2 * ((Random# between 1500 and 2000)/100)*6

Puck Handling: = (100 - PH rating)/2 * ((Random# between 1500 and 2000)/100)*5

Hardest Shot: = (SC rating+ST rating) /1.2 * ((Random# between 90 and 103)/100) Note:(3 shots each)

Sv Streak: - random number, if > than SV%=goal

 

So while ratings due play a major role, there is a bit of RNG
