When Game On! Minnesota asked ESPN if we could be the first to share the trailer for the Hockey Hair feature debuting on E:60 next Tuesday night, honestly we had no idea it’d be this damn good.

We probably should have figured. After all producer Mike Farrell was a good Canadian boy who knew his hockey, and he had been nothing but classy since he tracked us down 6 months ago to ask about doing a feature on the culture of hockey hair in Minnesota. Of course we said yes to the story because we loved the idea of spotlighting the greatest high school hockey tourney on the planet, not to mention The Land of 10,000 Locks.

Things only got better when we heard Barry Melrose was doing the interview. If you’re wondering, “Uncle Barry” is just as cool as you’d think he would be. Maybe cooler.
