Now that the NHL playoffs have begun and the WHL playoffs are nearing that final push, I think it's time to pay homage to the hair style choice of helmetheads everywhere: the mullet. Short on the top and sides, long in the back...remember?
Much to my dismay, the mullet may not have been invented by David Bowie and Paul and Linda McCartney in the 1970s.
The mullet was "wildly popular" in the mid-1980s. One of my besties had his hair cut into a mullet even before we knew the cut had a name!
The mullet apparently was referenced as early as the 8th Century, BC in the second book of The Iliad.
Famous-ish mullet wearers who come to mind:
Wayne Gretzky
MacGyver
Those are all I can think of at the moment. Cheers!
The Portland Winterhawks face off against the Edmonton Oil Kings this Friday night! It's a rematch made in Hockey Heaven!
