Hockey players are moving far faster? My bad... you weren't snorting coke. You were smoking crack rocks.

One, they're on a ****ing friction-less surface... but anyway, what would you think is average speed for a hockey player? I'm googling that the record is around the rink in 13.56 seconds which if the rink if 550ft around, assuming a constant rate on the ice, means moving the distance of a football field in 7.4 seconds.

Now, this guy was the fastest ever apparently so let's say the typical hockey player can cover 100 yards in 9 seconds... Does that sound reasonable, Asher?

Yes, that's going to be faster than an NFL player but not by as much as you seem to think. NFL WR's, DB's, and RB's can typically run 100 yards in 10 seconds.
