Canadiens' Michael Pezzetta adopts new look for a good cause

Canadiens' Michael Pezzetta adopts new look for a good cause

Michael Pezzetta made it to the NHL based on his physical play, but the Canadiens forward has come to be defined by his bushy, curly hair that protrudes from beneath his helmet. It has become as much a part of Pezzetta's character as the punishing hits he delivers on opposing forwards. Already popular with Montreal hockey fans, Pezzetta's stock undoubtedly grew recently when he decided to drastically change his appearance, chopping off 32 centimetres of hair last month that was donated to the CanDonate Hair Foundation, a Montreal-based organization that makes free wigs for children under age 18 in Quebec who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments.
