With November wrapping up, it’s time to take a quick look back at some of the best (and worst) Movember staches in the NHL. These may not rise to the Ron Swanson level of awesome, but they come pretty darn close.
Best: Jeff Carter
If Jeff Carter’s first super power is the ability to score great goals, his second has to be the ability to grow great facial hair. Carter’s playoff beard is already a thing of legend, and his Movember stache is without exception.
Best: Alex Ovechkin
If possible, the Capitals captain’s mustache makes him look even more Russian, which is an excellent thing.
Best: Carey Price
Intentional or not, the Montreal Canadians goalie nails the French Canadian vibe.
Best: Scott Hartnell
Hartnell’s stache would have been great in Philadelphia, but fits in nicely in Columbus.
Best: Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings’ Riley Sheahan, Luke Glendening and Gus Nyquist combine their Movember staches with Henrik Zetterberg’s consistently epic beard for a Best Team Facial Hair win.
Worst: Sidney Crosby
As we’ve seen time and time again in the playoffs, Sidney Crosby is a great player with very little ability to grow facial hair. Maybe next time, just donate a lot of money instead.
Worst: Jamie Benn

It’s eerie how quickly Jamie Benn goes from hockey player to dirty hipster.
