Hockey hair.
There is lots of hockey hair around especially in the younger male demographic (15-35) although it's not exclusive to that age range nor that gender. It's not the traditional mullet as you might suspect. It's a new breed of hockey hair that combines the faux-hawk and the d-bag cut. In other words it is longer and spiked up on top, cut short on the sides and a little longer in the back, likely as an homage to it's mullet predecessor.
The first time I saw this haircut, en masse, was actually in Calgary at the Saddledome during a Flames game. It was just before the World Juniors in Saskatoon and Team Finland was sitting in front of us. All of them, without exception, had this exact haircut. Who knew that adolescent Scandanavians would be at the pinacle of fashion and influence the Southern Hemisphere.
In general, we've noticed that while people are fashion conscious here, the fashion does not tend to be very flattering. It's an odd thing. They dress well but don't look good.
Speaking of hockey, we are starting the process of signing Zaren and Cyrus up for hockey here. Should be interesting to see the level of play. I'm hoping they will avoid the hockey hair but I fear that, going forward, they may be known as Zarsey and Cyrsey. Ugh.
