Hockey players rock the greatest hair you’ll find in any sport. Who has the best New York Rangers hockey hair?
Great hair and hockey go together like peanut butter and jelly. The day a hockey player is born he is genetically altered to grow out luscious locks. Every great hockey community has an incredible mom who can give each player the perfect salad to complement his skills. Hair is a statement: Both on and off the ice, hockey players’ hair tells stories about who they are and what they will become.
Looking good off the ice in hockey is important. Looking slick on the ice with a bucket on is even more important. A cardinal sign of great hockey flow results when the hair is no longer contained within a players helmet. Let the lettuce fly and prove you are a true hockey player.
We spend hours and hours discussing the New York Rangers current play, the trade deadline, and what is going to happen in the playoffs. Let’s not forget about what’s really important here: The players, their personalities, our relationships with the players and of course the hair.
I rate them in the end and urge you, the reader to join the discussion in the comments with your own ratings.
Here first, though, in no specific order, I present to you the New York Rangers Hockey Hair Team for 2017 …
Kevin Klein
Charles Manson or Zeus? Murderer or Greek god? I’m still not sure. You could see him on “Dateline” tomorrow or Google Greek gods and find him. Following suit with many other Rangers players, Klein has decided to go with the shaved sides/long top style. Sporting the buzz cut look for many years in while playing in Nashville and during his early years in New York, Kevin just didn’t fit in. A change had to be made. To complement his bright blue, alien-like eyes, he added the long blond hair that can be seen blowing in the wind on and off the ice. The beard is just an added bonus at this point.
Doesn’t get much better than Klein whipping the hair back after the fight in Calgary on February 5. Look at it work side to side as he skates towards the sin bin. What a beauty. Well-done Kleiner.
Mika Zibanejad
When Mika left Ottawa, he left some of his hair behind. Starting to play in New York, the center of the universe, Mika had to espouse a more New York look. He chopped off some of his old shoulder length hair, shaved the sides, and let the top flow on. To add even more flavor, it appears Mika might have added some fire highlights in there to accentuate the salad. Being that Mika is a DJ in his spare time, he must fit the bill on and off the ice. Great job with the transition, the ladies must love it.
Mats Zuccarello
Zuuuuuuuuuuuc. What doesn’t this guy do right? Am I right? Zucc has been sporting the classic hockey hair look for years. Luscious locks with perfect curls on that guys head. The flow ends about 1-2 inches before the trap muscles, simply perfect. The hair performs best underneath the bucket. On the ice Zuccarello’s hair simply will not be controlled by his helmet. It sneaks out the bottom, the ear holes, and on top. Anywhere there is a chance his hair is gone. Love it. Does the hair help him pick up chicks? You bet. Check out him and his girlfriend below. What a rocket. Jesus Zucc, you pull.
