Rockout With Your Lockout Beard

ovechkinbeard

As we have drowned our sorrows over the news of the official NHL lockout, now comes the time to mourn. What better way than to show your solidarity than to grow  a lockout beard? This will let your fellow peer know that you will not maintain that facial growth until Bettman and Fehr can make nice and come to an agreement.

Here's how it will work.

  • Send us over at hockeyshopped@gmail.com a week 1 start picture so we can lock in the looks (must be fresh faced)
  • Submit picture deadline for week 1 will be September 20th, 2012
  • Every 5 days or so from this point on, send us an updated photo
  • We will post the updated photos and will keep this unfortunate contest going until this lockout ends
  • Once the lockout does end, we will post a ballot of those that are still rocking the lockout beard and you, the reader, will vote on the best
  • Winner will receive a Capitals-related gift from us here at Hockey Shopped (details to come)

Let's hope that your beard area only grows a stubble 5 o'clock shadow and nothing more but we may be only able to wish. Pass the good word around.

    I am growing a lockout beard. Just felt compelled to comment, since for some reason there are no other comments here.
