Hanover Hockey Hair Spotlight: David Lehmann

(Bloggers note: Each week during the season we will feature a “Hanover Hockey Hair Spotlight” hairstyle of the week.  This will be published on Fridays)

Player:  Captain David Lehmann

Hair Nickname(s): Epic

The Story Behind the Hair:  When I was younger, I got one buzz cut ever year and then let it grow out over the next year. I have not continued to do that because spring is baseball season and I like it short.

Hair Product(s):  Home – Head and Shoulders 2:1.  At the rink - Old Spice 3:1.

Hair Primping Secret(s): I try to shampoo it every other day.  If it is looking flat, I take a two day break. I rely on the 2:1 as my got to.

One Word to Describe Your Family’s Feelings about Your Hair:  My mom loves the long hair but my sister and brother could care less.

Teammate Whose Hair You Would Most Like to Have: Rowan – I’ve always been curious about what I would look like as a blond and his hair is always so long and luscious.

Rink Talk:  There is a reason we saved David for the last regular season hair spotlight. When we had the preseason meeting with the captains back in early December, one could predict his hair’s flowtential, but like the smart, heady player he is on the ice, he deferred his glamour shot until his salad had some more time to develop.  So while his younger teammates basked in the adoration that comes with a feature in the hair spotlight, the wise senior waited patiently all season biding his time, steadfastly fertilizing his lawn with the head and shoulders 2:1 every other day.  As the flowvolution matured, David’s ferocious play on the ice ran in tandem with the masterpiece growing under his helmet.  There was the play of the year candidate strip and assist behind the net against BG to make it 2-1, the hat trick, and most recently the otherworldly goal in the third Concord game.  Furthermore, as the hair grew, so did his number of points on the stat sheet.  Coincidence?   We don’t think so, because you can have all of the speed, strength and stick skills in the state, but if you don’t have the hair, well you might as well just be getting short-shifted in the third period playing for Squirt Blue.  We present in our opinion the flow of the year, the standard by which all hair should be measured, and the one belonging to your captain and top scorer.  Congratulations captain Lehmann on your season, your Hanover career, but most of all, congratulations on your epic flow.
