I follow the high school hockey tournament simply for the hair awards since 2011. These guys put some serious effort into their looks. I am linking to an news article where the 2017 video is at the bottom of the page. You can google for other years’ awards on youtube.
While I’m on the West Coast, Minnesota is home and so we see this every year. DH very happy as his alma mater won this year. The hair is hilarious…some of their moms must pray for the end of the season. Watch the video. While it’s made for fun…every view helps benefit hockey for vets and different ability players.
Good question. I have nothing to do so I looked it up. In the top ten, 7 were US or Canada. The other top ten place winners were from France, Austria, and Switzerland.
What’s funny, and a little sad, to me, is that originally lacrosse’s roots were anything but prep-school. I went to a prep school where we loved to play lacrosse, but the team stars usually had less elaborate names, and were scholarship kids from nearby Seneca reservations. Lacrosse got played in little towns all over Ontario and Quebec, too, with Iroquois kids and hockey kids playing box lacrosse on ice-less hockey rinks.
