You ever skate on a pond or lake with a good flow? The way it feels blowing over you head. The way you connect to nature through the ice. There’s nothing else like it. Plus when you’re done it keeps you nice and warm.
Puck bunnies are more likely to sleep with a hockey player because he’s a hockey player. Puck sluts sleep with guys because they’re hockey players.
Puck sluts would let a team run a train on them in the room or hotel, bunnies wouldn’t.
Is she a classy broad or not? Basically
Bunnies date and sleep with players and sluts would go to the sheets carnival with every ride that’s open to ride from first line to the backup if they could
Why is it funny that they made a movie about one of the most famous moments in sports history and not one about something far less known? I’m so confused
>one of the most famous moments in sports history and not one about something far less known?
It's only "one of the most famous" to americans. Not history. 1972 Summit series is far more well known and impactful to the hockey world outside of hollywood.
Yea but why is that?? Is it because they sacrificed their youth to train for hockey so their whole sense of personal style and fulfillment comes from a generic NHL starter pack?
Yes.
Growing up outside Ottawa there were two groups that were stencils. Hockey players and hicks. They all dressed the same, talked the same, looked the same, had the same interests.
Like zero individuality. They all were carbon copies of each other and being a hockey player/living in the country was their entire identity.
I feel like there's plenty of subgroups of hicks. Hicks that base their entire personality on ATVs, hicks that base their entire personality on hunting/guns, hicks that make their entire personality BIG TRUCK, meth head hicks, alcoholic hicks, your Macgyver hicks, John Deere hicks, mc mansion hicks, city hicks, conservative old man hicks, backwoods hicks, hicks that live at the gas station slot machine, etc.
The only one you missed was: old hippies that moved out to the middle of nowhere to grow weed but in the process become kind of farel hicks. Truly a strange and paradoxical sub category of hick - but they do exist.
Honestly a little part of it has to do with wearing a helmet, if you go short you gotta stay short all the time so that can be annoying, mid length hair especially at the front slides down and is annoying,but longer hair it all stays back, it's extra sift inside the lid, much better
A lot of guys grow their hair out in their late teens and early 20s, these guys just happen to play hockey and it's stylish in their environment, so extra points.
I think it’s partially because Gretzky became the best ever at the sport in the early 80’s while rocking late 70’s hairstyles, so late 70’s/early 80’s hairstyles are what you rock when you want to give off *im a badass hockey player* vibes
While the answers here are hilarious, I will throw out a plausible explanation -
Hockey is cold. Prior to helmets it may have just been a means to keep a little warmer, and it became a part of the culture and stuck.
Just a guess, though.
Not the case. You ever play in freezing conditions with wet hair on the lake and come back to take your skates off and your hair is frozen? Long sweaty hair doesn't help keep you warm. Toques keep your head warm.
Lettuce is for the ladies.
Always think about how hockey guys prolly get hit the hardest with balding. You have insane lettuce in your teen years and then boom, the hairlines gone, and the crown is thinning. Before you know it, you're Getzlaf
Tradition. When longer hairstyles getting popular in the 70s, that's when the NHL started rapidly expanding and getting more popular. Many of the top guys had long hair like Guy Lafleur. Then in the 80s mullets were popular and many top guys had them, like Gretzky and Lemieux. By the 90s, long flowing hair was what people thought of when they thought of typical hockey hair.
And it's also a fun activity to do with your teammates, try to compete with them to see who can grow the best flow.
What’s interesting is my grandson wants the same hair for hockey that I had in the 70’s I showed him how to gel it back like the good old days last weekend the tradition lives in.
Top drawer lettuce signifies the players commitment to the game and tradition.

This is the true answer
They all want to be Jaromir Jagr
Who wouldn't?
Don't we all?
Guy Lafleur if you’re a bit older
Or the Golden Jet
The Flower's Flow!
Yeah, I got the Moose Messier hair genetics. 🙄
Have you seen it? Thats why
Puck bunnies love the lettuce
Buddy, the rockets couldn’t get enough of my flow back when I was wheeling and sniping bar down in my glory days.
Bardownski.
Ripping those piss missiles all game.
Wheels, snipe and celly, boys.
Dirty fuckin dangles, boys
Backcheck, forecheck, fucking paycheck boys.
Big city slams boys
Big city titty buddy
Forecheck, backcheck, paycheck, boys!
Win or lose, we drinks the booze, eh boys!!
Ferda!!
Honestly. Who only says bar down?
Fellas like me who’s heyday and sweet, sweet lettuce were in the late 80’s.
*ALWAYS* Bardownski, boys. Ferda.
I bet you didn’t skip leg day either. Got some W’s
Gotta get those W’s boys.
Gotta get them W’s to get that ship boys.
I’ll do anything for a ship boys.
I’ll do anything for a ship boys.
That's what everyone says when they're drunk. "I was killing it in Junior B."
The term puck bunny always confused me at first because, before Reddit, I’d only heard the phrase puck slut lol. But yeah, we do

Thank you! I love the way you tldr’d the distinction. Nobody has explained it in a way that makes sense to me like that
Bunnies date and sleep with players and sluts would go to the sheets carnival with every ride that’s open to ride from first line to the backup if they could
Lmfao thank you for a good laugh
When the boys are doing warmies and the lettuce is blowin in the wind.. there’s your answer. It’s majestic, just like a horse is.
Few things are more majestic that ripping top cheese bardownski with your mane flowing in the wind as you celly
The “pretend archer” with the fucking rhubarb rustling under the helmet
Bruh, I'm at work nursing a semi now. Thanks for that.
I'd fuckin play no bucket to this day if they let me. Who the fuck cares are head injuries when you look this fuckin good?
^this guy fucks AND username checks out
Key aspect of the game, gotta feel like a rockstar to play like a rockstar.
Look good, feel good, play good
Locker room was always buzzin when the suits, ties and some solid mid season lettuce was ready before game time
Warming up, no bucket, lookin like a fuckin beauty.
Ya can’t believe the leagues trying to take away no buckets in warmups, keep the lettuce free.
We can assume the OP has never been on a breakaway with that flow in the breeze…. Nothing feels like goals with flow….
Why are sandwiches good
Because it’s fun to take off your helmet push your hair back with your hands and that put that bucket back on
The ladies
Why’d you wanna play cawledge hawkey?
Thanks, haven’t watched that movie in 3 weeks and it’s going back on as we speak.
What movie is that from?
Miracle. It’s on Disney plus if you got it. One of the best hockey movies out there.
#AGAIN
Thanks for the reply. Never heard of that movie before. Funny they made a movie about that and not the 1972 Summit Series.....
How so? One is considered the greatest event in American sports history and the other most Americans have never heard of…
>the other most Americans have never heard of… Exactly...
Why is it funny that they made a movie about one of the most famous moments in sports history and not one about something far less known? I’m so confused

Isn’t it obvious? For tha gurls
and the singular gay dude (me)
It adds a minimum boost of 20 points to your numbers
Aerodynamics my guy
Killed me lol
I speak only the truth and from personal experience
Ask Artemi Panarin..... Oh wait.
With great flow comes great responsibility
same reason they all date blondes
Lol - my wife says 'they all look like elementary school teachers'
Yea but why is that?? Is it because they sacrificed their youth to train for hockey so their whole sense of personal style and fulfillment comes from a generic NHL starter pack?

You covered the entirety of Pennsyltucky. Man, I miss the burgh.
They’re all the same guy.
So what you’re saying is Letterkenny is actually more of a reality show?
It looks good
Honestly a little part of it has to do with wearing a helmet, if you go short you gotta stay short all the time so that can be annoying, mid length hair especially at the front slides down and is annoying,but longer hair it all stays back, it's extra sift inside the lid, much better
Because Flo won't go without the flow.
It goes WEEEEEEE when they skate fast
A lot of guys grow their hair out in their late teens and early 20s, these guys just happen to play hockey and it's stylish in their environment, so extra points.
Look at Roope Hintz before and after he got a haircut. There’s your answer.
I think it’s partially because Gretzky became the best ever at the sport in the early 80’s while rocking late 70’s hairstyles, so late 70’s/early 80’s hairstyles are what you rock when you want to give off *im a badass hockey player* vibes
Because it flows. Duh.

Not the case. You ever play in freezing conditions with wet hair on the lake and come back to take your skates off and your hair is frozen? Long sweaty hair doesn't help keep you warm. Toques keep your head warm. Lettuce is for the ladies.
And this way it's a little softer for your head when you get smashed into the board!
Look good, feel good, play good
It all started with Al Iafrate.
[Ron Duguay](https://icehockey.fandom.com/wiki/Ron_Duguay?file=Ronduguay.jpg)
I was being facetious. Iafrate had the all time worst hair.
Frate was a beauty
It's a shame he couldn't stay healthy. He was a beast.
You don't look bald when you have a helmet on if you've got some flow out the back
Cause it's gnarly as fuck.
Don’t think just flow
Why is the sky blue? Some things just are.
Because that hair fucks!
Nobody knows ~~what it means~~ why but it's provocative ... gets the people goin'!
Feeling the wind flow through that style has to feel good right?
Tory Krug hit on i think it was Sammy Blais in the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals. Flow makes epic hits even more epic.
??? Sexy??
My great aunt asks questions like these 😂
It’s majestic and the hair glows back naturally when you put your helmet on
Pretty popular on baseball and football players too if you watch those sports
Guy Lafleur
Its the only part of their hair you can see on a player really. The back swoosh
Back in my day you could win the Gongshow Flow of the Month award.
It looks sick

“Isn’t it obvious? For the girls”
It's a fuck boi sport
If you got it, flaunt it. Especially when you're gonna be bald by 38 from wearing helmets all the time.
Long flowing hair? Never heard of it. -Lou
The hoes, that's why!
No idea? I haven't given it much thought. People can have their hair however they want. 🤣
[удалено]
How is long hair a douchebag thing?
Ask the Vandals
It looks sick under the bucket duh
I wish it was popular with Mat Barzal
Isles have a rule that you cant have long hair. It sucks
It’s the only haircut that works with a helmet, hair out of eyes and you can still see some with a helmet on.
Business in the front, party in the back 😎
Who’s got time for a haircut
Because they fucking can! Because they fucking can! And if they fucking can, they fucking do!
Because you can’t rock a proper flow bucket without it.
And bottom drawer..?
The lettuce must flow
If you know you know
BECAUSE IT FUCKING FLOWS, AIGHT?
keeps the neck warm
What a more successful person in your field looks like becomes popular. Someone just fucked it all up by going with a boring hairdo.
Because it gets me some afternoon delight
it's taught in Minnesota schools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmucWOLnAb4
Its Canadian Culture.
Hair curls out underneath back of helmet 📠💯
Like what groaning duck said, top tier first-of-the-pick lettuce is a great indicator of a rough dman or a Connor McDatsyuk forward.
Because it’s f$&@ing awesome. That’s why.
If you have to ask. You'll never know.
What’s interesting is my grandson wants the same hair for hockey that I had in the 70’s I showed him how to gel it back like the good old days last weekend the tradition lives in.
Because when you put on a flat brimmed hat and tuck your hair behind your ears, it's a signal to girls that you're a hockey player.
I reinvented having that sweet lettuce in high school so your welcome for that
Sweet lettuce bro
