While it's not the NHL playoffs yet, this beard will have you believing it is.

Eric Brooks is the name, and growing and designing his beard is his game. Eric Brooks is not necessarily a household name in the hockey world, but when you see his face, it's one you’ll not likely forget. That’s only unless he shaves...

The beard that Brooks has been growing for the past several years now reaches his nipples in length. Based on the game he’s attending, he will style his facial locks accordingly, and he is currently testing out a beard design he plans to rock on March 29th at the Pepsi Center in Colorado.

 

 

 

 In the past, he's had Washington Capitals beard designs...

 

 

The capitals need my help!
