It's gotta be the beards.
Whether you're a broad-shouldered hockey player from Winnipeg aiming to lift the Stanley Cup or a skinny jean-wearing hipster recently arrived in Williamsburg looking to raise awareness about an artisanal pickling company, you're almost certainly going to be rocking some serious facial hair these days. These two hirsute constituencies -- hockey players and hipsters -- may not seem to have much in common but they may not be as easy to tell apart as you'd expect.
Among hockey players, the "playoff beard" has been an almost mandatory part of the postseason uniform since the New York Islanders began growing increasingly fuzzier as they skated their way through the 1980 Stanley Cup playoffs. Of course, there may be certain hipsters who insist that they were growing beards before the Islanders made it cool.
Below are the fuzzy faces of 12 men. Some of them are hockey players. Some of them are hipsters. Can you guess which beards are cool because of their proximity too NHL-approved ice and which are cool because that's the point?
