All Hockey-Hair TeamA bit long for a web video, but so worth it. The perfectly flat, dry Midwestern delivery, and of course, the majestic hockey hair. So settle in and watch. Our pal, the Minneapolis-based journalist Steve Marsh, passed this along, and his description was so much better than we could muster, so here’s Steve:
“Hockey is such a violent, sweaty, foul-smelling sport (I’ve always wondered about the alien microbiology of the rink locker room) that it obliterates almost any trace of glamour, and this aw shucks northern humility ends up as the default posture. But they’re still beautiful Adonis athlete dudes, and they need an outlet for some kind of macho rooster dandyism, so they end up expressing themselves through these ridiculous demode manes.”
Oh hockey hair…the only sport where it is socially acceptable to have a mullet. Sadly I’ve had the hockey mullet, the bad bleach, shavings, and things carved into my head - all in the name of hockey.
awesome hockey hair.
