The Art of the Hockey Beard

Recommended Posts

Picture my girlfriend took of me a couple weeks into our playoff run this spring: I'm gonna have to say I fit under the "Carnie" :( (I grow my hair out during the season, too - got it cut the first day of camp and let 'er go the rest of the way). I think part of her was actually rooting against us a little bit by the end of our first round...she wanted the facial hair gone.

It only got worse from there...I'll see if I can get a picture or two scanned-up and loaded onto my computer so we can see it in action. As terrible as it looked off the ice, it actually looked decent when I was at the rink. It would have looked even better if ear guards weren't required and my hair was unleashed even more than it already was. Oh well.

Which is exactly why it looked so scummy, lol. It definitely must have looked bizarre to anyone who saw me before/after a game - young kid walking around in a nice suit, a well-kept (not so much in that picture, but gimme a break, lol) mane on my head...and a scraggly-ass lookin' half-beard. It was awful. I think one of the reasons it looked better during games was all the water/sweat "matting" it down - making it look a little bit darker and denser.

Regardless...it's got nothing on that stuff that grows out of your face, that's for damn sure.

Chalk me up for the "Amish" Mine came in WAY to full for the MSH skate 2 years ago to about 1.5" long. Nothing like fluffing it out to further emphasise it.

I kept my beard absolutely hideously long in highschool, this is the first year I've done the playoff beard, I think it's coming along nicely.
