See the link below for a recent Washington Post article on why Washington Capitals hockey player Chris Simon cut his long hair. Evidently, it wasn't just for fashion.
Thanks for posting that. I watch a lot of hockey and I hadn't heard why he cut it. I don't really understand his logic, but it's good to know he had some reasoning behind it and didn't do it just to follow a trend or whatever.

I didn't follow his logic either. We will have to see whether he grows it back.
