CCM pays Brianna Decker $25K for recording fastest time in passing event

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl won the Premier Passing event at Friday's All-Star Skills Competition in San Jose, but he didn't have the fastest time.

That belonged to Brianna Decker, a U.S. Olympic gold medalist and member of the Calgary Inferno of the CWHL. She demonstrated the event for the NHL participants in front of a sold-out crowd and completed the challenge in 1:06, three seconds faster than Draisaitl.

Draisaitl, like all Friday's event winners, earned a $25,000 bonus, which sparked some outrage among the hockey world.

Enter hockey manufacturing brand CCM, who announced Saturday that it will be providing Decker with her rightful earnings.

In addition, it appears the NHL has something planned for all the women that participated, according to TSN's Frank Seravalli.

Decker wasn't the only woman to make headlines at the event, as American teammate Kendall Coyne Schofield wowed in the Fastest Skater event and became the first woman to participate in the NHL Skills Competition.
