The AHL All-Star Skills Competition was held in Ontario, California, on Sunday and a new record was set in the Hardest Shot Competition.

Frk’s first shot went 104 MPH before he pummeled his second nearly 110 MPH. He was one of only two players who hit triple digits.

Frk was mobbed by his fellow AHL All-Stars before taking a lap around Toyota Arena.

According to Wikipedia, only two NHL players, Chara and Shea Weber, have ever hit 108 MPH on the radar gun during the 30 years this event has been held.

The 26-year-old Frk, a 2012 second-round pick of the Detroit Red Wings, has 20 goals and 30 points in 33 AHL games this season. Frk has played four games for the Los Angeles Kings this season and has scored three games.

Here are the full results from the Hardest Shot Competition.
