After using an Easton EQ50 to win the 2011 Hardest Shot competition at the NHL All-Star weekend, Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara decided to switch things up this time around, choosing the Warrior Diablo as his weapon of choice.

Coming in as a 4-time defending champion, Chara successfully made it 5 straight victories by setting a new NHL record with a 108.8 mph blast on his second attempt. Shea Weber (using his trusty Easton S19) came in second, just as he did in 2011.

What will it take for someone to knock Chara off his throne?
