Hockey for Bernies: Movember

The Fu Manchu, the Pencil, the Handlebar, the Imperial, the Lampshade, the Toothbrush, the Walrus, the Freestyle, the Chevron.

No matter what upper lip accoutrement you're stylin' this month, prostate cancer awareness is the new black. Movember (or the month formerly known as November) marks 30 days of wax-using, cereal-catching, small comb-using hair growth to raise money for prostate cancer research. And if the size and griminess of your moustache determined how much money was raised, NHL players would be the leading donors. In no particular order:

10. Zack Sortini


Currently playing for the Edmonton Oilers. I personally appreciate the 90 degree angles on this puppy.

9.  George Parros


 
It's untamed depths frighten me.

8. Dennis Maruk

An oldie but a goodie, there seems to be no differentiation between hair line, moustache, and chest hair.

7. Harold Snepsts


A beloved former Canuck from the 1980's, Mr. Snepsts preferred to let his nose hair run rampantly down his cleft.

6. Wendel Clark


Much like Walker Texas Ranger, Wendel Clark kept another fist in his moustache.

5. Dave Babych



Lesser known Canucks fact: Tom Selleck used to moonlight as a talented NHL player.

4. Bill McCreary


Bill McCreary was never an NHL player, but I yelled "Moustache McCreary" so many times during last night's game against the Senators, that I felt that it was criminal not to include him.

3. Eddie Shack


One of the best in the biz, I'm always surprised when people remember Eddie Shack for his 12 gallons rather than his 12 inch wax tips.

2. Mike Brown


Admittedly a bit of a homer choice, no one can deny the formidable soup strainer on one Mike Brown. I can see it from the upper bowl of the ACC.

1. Lanny MacDonald


Lesser known for his cameo in Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland:

  3. Even though this was done in no particular order, I still would have put Clark as #1.
