Hockey Player Nathan MacKinnon Beats Speed Skater Charles Hamelin in Sprint!

The iconic Tacks skates from CCM are back, new and improved. But how to prove everyone they still got it and reclaim their legendary status?

Easy, have a hockey player, in full gear (so about 15 pounds of equipment), wear the Tacks in a sprint opposing a speed skating olympic medalist (in his spandex suit).

For this battle, CCM had Nathan MacKinnon, from the Colorado Avalanche, race Charles Hamelin, short track canadian champion.

In a surprising plot twist Nathan beats Charles, but obviously this was just about the power of their starts/ acceleration and not so much about the skating itself.
