Time to call an end to the facial hair

One last thing about hockey, then we'll get back to politics: Can NHL players please do away with this beard-growing playoff tradition? From Lanny McDonald in 1989 to Scott Niedermayer this year, I'm sick of watching Father Time hoist the Cup aloft.

I couldn't agree more. It's so awful, and they look ridiculous. And my point is: how they look shouldn't be a detraction from watching them play their game.

Big Beard = Manliness.

Philip Preville

Veteran freelance writer Philip Preville lived much of his life in Montreal and Edmonton before he was lured, like so many Torontonians before him, by the promise of more work and a better living. A National Magazine Award winner and former Canadian Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College, Preville writes Toronto Life’s politics column. He lives with his wife and one-year-old son in Riverdale, just close enough to the Don Valley Parkway that he can hear it when he steps outside his house—but just far enough away that it doesn’t keep him awake at night. On his office wall hangs a 1938–39 press pass belonging to his grandfather, Elias Gannon, who wrote for the Montreal Star.
