Happy Monday, Here's Some Hockey Hair!

The month of hair continues!

As a lot of you know, I am a Minnesotan and I am very proud to be from the state of hockey. From age 11 all the way through high school I was a dedicated hockey player, who loved to protect her goalie more than put on makeup and more often than not I topped the list of my teammates as the one with the most minutes in the penalty box.

SV + I (Totino-Grace Women's Hockey)

QUICK STORY: The girl pictured above with me on the left is Sam, a spit-fire person with enough sass to light a fire under just about anyone. We played on the same hockey team for majority of my career, from a u-12 girls league through high school, on and off. She was my first defensive partner and I have her to thank for a lot of my skill. Sam pushed me hard and never coddled me, she wasn't afraid to yell and had held me to a high standard of play.  SV & I went to the same public middle school and then both went to a local private school after 8th grade. She was older, with more playing experience and I will be forever grateful to this lady for her mentorship and for being a good friend when I was a freshman at a new scary private high school! <3 you SV :)

When I was skating regularly I was much more muscular and could leg press almost triple my body weight but despite my toughness hockey boys made me weak in the knees. It was their rugged attitudes, powerful slap shots, muscular butts but most of all I was attracted to HOCKEY HAIR.

Urban Dictionary

My parents use to let me take a few days off of school in order to head down to the MN High School State Boys Hockey Tournament and watch the games with my hockey player friends from all the schools in the state. That week is a sacred time for all hockey players in Minnesota, whether you are in the tournament or not. The commaroderie is untouchable and the energy comparable to few things I have experienced, there are just too many lovable & esoteric facets to explain so I will just get to my hairy point... 

I have been obsessed with these All Hockey Hair Team videos for a couple years now. Below is the newest addition, it includes a bit of history, a rip about girls hockey and of course the 2014 ALL HOCKEY HAIR TEAM. 

I hope you laughed at least once, for you non-hockey players there might have been fewer chuckles but you have appreciate the marketing genius and the witty commentary. 

So to all of your boys who play the greatest sport in the world as well as rock that attractive long hair style, keep it up! I, and a pretty large population of ladies, love it.

Happy Monday!
