10 - Larry Robinson - Larry Robinson summed up the hockey look in the 1970s. Not only did he sport a sweet mustache, but he rocked some pretty nice hair as well. Big Bird would eventually go bare-lipped, but for a big
part of his career he had some of the best facial hair in the game.
9 - Bryan Trottier - Bryan Trottier's mustache may not have been as bushy as some of the others on this list, but this 6 time Stanley Cup champion consistently kept the 'stache throughout his whole career, refusing to shave when the mustache lost favor in the 1990s. Poor Mike Bossy looked like a pre-pubescent boy playing aside hairy linemates, Trottier and Clark Gillies. Whether he couldn't grow facial hair or simply refused to is still one of hockey's greatest mysteries.
8 - Dennis Maruk - Yes, there were good players in Washington before Alexander Ovechkin showed up. True, they were few and far between, but Dennis Maruk has to be counted as one of Washington's all time best players, and he edges out Mike Gartner for owning Washington's all time best mustache. This sniper once scored 60 goals for the Capitals, but his greatest achievement is certainly the cultivation of that mustache.
- 7 - Dirk Graham - I'll admit to some personal bias on this selection. When combing through the history of Chicago Blackhawks' mustaches many fans might prefer those sported by Michel Goulet or Denis Savard, but not every hockey mustache in the 80s rested on the lip of a superstar. The plumbers and the grinders must have their due, and Dirk Graham was the ultimate lunchbucket player.
6 - Harold Snepsts - Growing up in British Columbia Harold Snepsts' mustache was a symbol of hockey for me, and is an easy choice for a spot on the list of the top 10 hockey mustaches of all time.
5 - Wendel Clark - With the recent jersey retirement of Wendel Clark's jerseys young hockey fans got a first hand introduction to what a spectacular player Wendel Clark was, and what a spectacular mustache he used to have. Wendel's mustache is so well thought of in hockey circles that the Toronto Maple Leafs made it a theme for Wendel's retirement ceremony, handing out free Wendel Clark mustaches to every fan.
