I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: hockey players are some of the manliest men in sports. And they have fun little traditions that let guys and gals see them in both flavors: fresh-faced AND bearded!
My Flyers never fail to deliver on the dudes, even if their goaltending can be… spotty (stabs Bryzgalov voodoo doll in the eye). Claude Giroux is majorly cute, and that playoff beard of his gets major points in my book.
Mind you, Chris Higgins for the Canucks is pretty stunning. Gorgeous eyes, nice smile, AND some of the best abs in the sport? I’m sold. 😉

Chris Higgins, woof !! Scruffy or shaved. Maybe we should have more shirtless Ice Hockey — or at-least more cutoff T-shirts.
Back in the late 70’s a number of the Broad Street Bullies lived in our neighborhood in South Jersey when I was in High School. Major Crush-material (when they had their dentures and bridges in … LOL). Clarke, Hextall and Lindros. Used to see Holmgren around town. **sigh**
I have never been or will ever be a hockey fan. Probably due to my southern heritage. But I will say that hockey players are so mega butch.

@ Ted B.: Higgins doesn’t seem shy about showing off the goods- he’s constantly wiping his face with the front of his jersey. The bottom, anyways. The man’s sexy, and he knows it.

Hockey, like football, is non-stop excitement.
Contrast that to the dullness of baseball.

Hmmm… I think rugby players can easily compete with hockey players for masculine hotness, with the bonus that they’re less likely to have ridiculous mullets. Plus, men physically piling on top of each other is part of rugby’s official rules — at least, I’m pretty sure this is the case, but I dozed off the last time someone tried to explain rugby arcana to me.

I like hockey. But if you’ve ever had a leg cramp it takes precedence over everything.
Sean Lsays
@ Niall: Au contraire, mon ami. I’ve seen lots of guys play through pulled muscles- I’ve done it myself. Hockey players are just a cut above those fellows who run around in shiny shirts and tiny shorts.
Just Mesays
Hockey rules!
Love that two of your examples are a Bruin and a Former Bruin.
I will also never forget Stamkos coming back into game 7 of the eastern conference final after being hit in the face with a puck (his whole face was a swollen mess and he had to have surgery to repair the broken things).
Hockey players are tough andnI rather like the fact that most of them are very down to earth and generally nice guys.
As for hotness Patrice Bergeron is pretty darn hot.

@sean A pulled muscle is different than a cramp in one’s calf.
Hockey is the best!
Though I still like a popular bumper-sticker from back when I was in college;
Rugby Players Eat Their Dead.
Reefer madness- leftists fail to mention that the new drug made with Pot (THC) & butane named Wax makes people bat shit crazy and was the form of THC mentioned in the Grand Jury.
