Ugliest Photos of Hockey Players

[Mount Suribachi]

Man, those hockey cards from the 70s.... Even the names are awesome. Pete Laframboise? Seriously, its like the name you'd give to Will Ferrell's character in a comedy about 70s hockey he made with Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. Canada should feel ashamed with the names of its modern day players. Weber, Doughty, Keith, Crosby? Pathetic, must do better!

Anyway, how has this thread got no Datsyuk? Couldn't find the one where he looks like needs a blood transfusion after winning the cup, so here is the next best thing

 

[Engebretson]

I know he's been brought up already, but...

 

[VMBM]

I don't recall Wayne being in Duran Duran?

Or in Kajagoogoo (Limahl).

Yeah, I got a little Simon Le Bon vibe from the other photo (the one with the clothes on).

I had to revive this thread...

Dave Dryden, WHA Edmonton Oilers, c. 1978:

His teammate, Bill Flett:

Goalie Marco Baron (who made sporadic NHL appearances):

Kevin McClelland here is the poster-child for what is known as "hockey-hair":

I've always found this photo of Bill Barber kind of disturbing:

Rick Dudley:

Mike Ramsey -- not such an ugly photo, but why the long face...?

 

[Gilles Meloche]

Jim Peplinski ("Bone-head" as my Dad used to call him) was never the best-looking player, and time has not been overly kind to him:

Another Flame, Tim Hunter, didn't threaten to become a model either:

I always thought that Tim Hunter looked like he ran the 100 meter dash in a 90 meter gym...

 

[Copmuter*]

The people at Upper Deck were jerks for using a profile picture of Hunter

 

[Killion]

I've always found this photo of Bill Barber kind of disturbing:

... oh? how so TP?

 

[Ralph Spoilsport]

A deer in the headlights...or possibly on acid...

Classic Olli...

 

[MuzikMachine]

I'm not sure if Zdeno Chara had just won the Stanley Cup, or if he had caught it on the African savanna and was about to have dinner.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Oh, God. I know that look. He watched that VHS tape from The Ring, didn't he?

 

[Killion]

Ya, you might be right quoipourquoi.
Transferred to digital, gone viral...

I once saw a Jokinen pic where he had that salad bowl haircut. You know what I mean, put a salad bowl on the head and cut away what sticks out. That pic was used in NHL200x. Can't remember for the live of me which year it was. Early 2000s

 

[Killion]

Early 2000s

Oh yeah, some pretty hysterical photoshopped meme's & gifs of Olli Jokinen were produced. Some pretty disturbing actually. Theres a couple of threads back in the archives here at hf, nothing but Olli Jokinen gifs & meme's. Unreal. I'll dig something up.

 

[Killion]

... as you can see from these examples out of
100's, Olli went absolutely viral for a time.....

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Andre "Moose" Dupont... a looker.

 

[Voight]

What is the story with this one? Ive seen one like it with Holland, Babs and a few 'Wings players but don't get where its from or what it means.

It's Olli and Turkey girl. This is the original thread (sadly I think a lot of the images have been lost but it's a hfboards classic):

Here's the original image:

The gif is a scene from Zoolander:

Barber resembles a Grandmother in that photo. It disturbs me.

And yet another Jagr mullet shot

That mullet looks like a shag carpet stapled to the back of his head in that picture

Bobby Holik was the first guy I thought of..

Also saw Sopel this weekend, saw him play a lot in junior, somehow forgot that look.. definitely not a lady slayer.

Edit: I clearly don't know how to upload photo, whoops!

Battleship Kelly

Looks like a photo-shopped caveman

Looks like a photo-shopped caveman

........... not "ugly" though. Most of these photo's merely representative of era's, facial hair or no etc. Wouldnt consider any of them "ugly".
Not a one.... how about you BobbyAwe? See anything on this thread beyond Neanderthal? Freak Job? Your a player, you dont even think about it.
