So we've had a few speedsters over the years, who was the quickest skater though.

I'll go for Brent Bobyk

Good shout, Latal will be up there. I'd also consider Dale Craigwell, he was pretty shifty too-a very smooth skater.

Bobyk for me. Although Kent Simpson was fast.

Latal and Jono aren’t exactly slow either.

Craigwell was the smoothest and best skater I’ve ever seen.

Be a good race between those 5!

I would add Matt Hubbauer into the mix, he was very very fast... didn't he win the speed contest in the season ticket event back then..

I seem to remember in the past we had a skills session when part of it was police radar measuring the fastest skate and the fastest slap shot. I remember Kent Simpson was the fastest skater at the time at something like 34 mph but I can’t remember the slap shot winner.

Neumann is every bit as fast as Látal also. And J. Phillips burned plenty of Nottingham D men last night even at 40.

Tyler Mosienko, fast and a prolific scorer!

I thought the thread read 'fastest Steeler' LMAO. Kidding David. I like BB. I think Tim Cranston would feel left out here, but there were definitely a few in the BISL era. #4, 10, 16, 9...........
Interesting post. DC was also a great choice. Some referred to him as 'skated for fun'

Yeah I should have considered Turbo Tim, I was trying to think of just pure speed but of course some players seem quick because their anticipation is so good they always seem to have a yard start. Always rated BB in a foot race even though he never seemed to know what came after he won the race, you see those posts and crossbar Brent ? , somewhere in the middle of those would be nice, kidding of course as he caused many a turnover that was finished by others.

Mosienko was certainly quick. The area of fans around me that season called him Mozzy as in mosquito, he was that hard to catch !
