she’s INSANELY fast. she’s so much shorter than everyone else there, which means shorter legs and yet STILL she made it so close to their times. major props what a queen

[sgtcrab]

Her technique, edges, crossover and acceleration are really excellent.

[justinmiller]

Her straight ahead sprint is unbelievably powerful. On someone who’s 5’2”. Honestly blown away.

[Technoir]

Like, she didn't finish 7th out of 8 against random dudes, these were the guys invited to the fastest goddamn skater competition in the NHL.

The amount of disrespect in this comment section 😒
I'm not american but shouldnt you guys be proud of her?
Imagine being a gold medalist trying your best to bring honour to your country then being insulted by people who couldn't even have that achievement just because you got like 2 minutes of praise on the all star game. Most negative comments i see here are from channels run by kids and they get multiple thumbs up with their hateful comment 😥
Maybe be more like your idol athletes and be nice and show respect. Hope everyone has a good day 😊

[SerasXHarkonnen]

Technique and power, a great combo, went up against the best in the contest and laid down a challenging time. Mad respect.

[nothanks]

Amazing speed! Just saw that she’s 5’2”, my height! She killed it out there !

[hellogoodbye]

As a AAA girls hockey player, I can say this was cool to watch. I met her twice, ( and got to hold her medals!) I am from about the same area and one of my coaches said that there was another woman who was better than her, but didn't make the team because Kendall helped build the team. She is an awesome person to look up too!!

[themiguelodon]

Thank you for finally acknowledging it. She’s not an NHLer but she is a fastest skater. Amazing strides and crossovers

[NumberCentre]

14.3 beats a lot of guys in previous years

[cravin]

She can absolutely FLY! I was pretty blown away at her speed, her quick feet, her crossovers. Mechanically I think her skating was far more text book than most of the NHL All Stars. She is a very good skater and should be proud of that display. I was so happy to see he do this. In a house full of female hockey players it's pretty easy for me to cheer on the females in hockey but she blew it up!

[simone]

She did an Amazing skate...
The guys were shitin there pants after she clocked in...
she lost by a second...But who cares....She's put the world on notice.

[mrdavester]

I showed this to my daughter. Shes only 3 but I wanted her to see it.

[vancouvercowboys]

My daughter's play hockey. And this is important to see.

[JNJ]

RI-DIC-ULOUS, she is freaking EXPLOSIVE & has incredible technique, one of the best skaters I've seen period male or female

[formattester]

highlight of the all star event for me. Coyne was full out her whole run! the thing i enjoyed so much about the Olympic game were USA won was watching the "hustle" of the women's play. they play full tilt the whole game. exciting and electrifying!

[ravenmyren]

Beat out Clayton Keller for 7th out of 8 competitors, nice!

[patrickday]

I love hockey, I'm not some SJW warrior....Kendall was phenomenal! She would smoke most men. I would LOVE to see a viable women's hockey league. I would watch those games as much as NHL games.

[tommyarmour]

Man, she can motor! Explosive start and great technique

[davemack]

Very impressive. It would be great to see a women's NHL tournament that week concluding on Saturday afternoon. Skills comp on Sat ending with a mixed game Sat night. Can have an NHL all star game on the Sunday.
