Every year, John King creates a video tribute to the glorious hair of Minnesota high school hockey players. It’s a thing of quiet beauty, the lo-fi production quality of the video matching the easygoing beauty of the hockey players’ coiffures. Welcome to paradise:

Thrill in low-definition as a parade of mullets, patchy mustaches, feathery life-guard manes, and, ultimately, rich Fabio-like thickets of hair buzz through your field of vision.
If hungry for more, visit last year’s hair, which is as charmingly out of sync with our time as ever:
