NBC Learn, in partnership with the National Hockey League and the National Science Foundation, is pleased to announce the launch of "Science of NHL Hockey," the third and latest installment in our Emmy award winning franchise, the "Science of Sports."
How much power does an NHL player need to rip a 100 mph (60 km/h) slap shot? Why does the gyroscopic effect make an NHL wrist shot more accurate? How quickly does an NHL goalie need to react in order to stop a shot?
Explore these and many other science and math concepts in this 10-part video series featuring NHL stars Brenden Morrow (LW, Dallas Stars), Erik Johnson (D, Colorado Avalanche), Jaroslav Halak (G, St. Louis Blues), Matt Moulson (LW, NY Islanders) and Pekka Rinne (G, Nashville Predators).
