Might be the fabric that the ones I've worn were made of but I always found those things itchy as hell, especially if it's not freezing cold and I end up sweating in it.

If you have longer hair and don't want to brush it, the beanie is pure greatness. All he needs to do now is put some Ray Bans on and pick up a pack of smokes.

Clearly you guys are missing the point of the toque: you don't need to style your hair when you wear that thing. When player wakes up before the game he can style his hair knowing it will immediately go into a helmet, or he can throw on a toque, pulling the wool over all of your eyes.

I beg to differ.
Away game bro.
Bus leaves the hotel at a fixed time. Players are never really outside, they go from the lobby to the bus to the heated stadium garage. Once you get to the rink there is spare time to do things like eat peanut butter sandwiches or style your hair or listen to your jams, but you have to be on the bus when it leaves. A toque means no time at the hotel is wasted doing hair that you could be watching Grown Ups 2.

The boards say Texas on them in the photo. I wonder if this is from the game they showcased the white jerseys?
I'll give it a listen. I listened to them in the off-season because I was so hockey starved.
>edit>listening.
So I believe it was Modo that brought up the term toque. I'd never heard of it so had to look it up. It means beanie in Canadian. When I was a kid in Texas we called them toboggans. At some point I noticed everyone started calling them beanies. Now listening to M&W I'm stunned by yet another revelation! Toque is pronounced tewk! I guess it's kinda like how Kari is pronounced Carrie in Canadian and sorry is pronounced swarry/sore-ee.

Seriously, I had no idea I'd derail the thread this much.
Next time I'll just say "hat".

See growing up a beanie was one of those hats with a propeller on top

Funny, that's what I always identified that term with as well.
I think Calvin's to blame.

You grasshoppers don't even KNOW how awesome Saturday comics were, once upon a time.
They're garbage now, mostly. But Calvin and Hobbes was something else, let me tell ya.
