It is time once again for that time-honored tradition that is the Gongshow NAHL Flow of the Month. The 2014-15 season is well underway and players have now had a couple of months to start and grow their hockey flow. The summer buzz cuts are gone and by now, players have had a few months to start growing their flow.
With that in mind, the North American Hockey League (NAHL) announced its Gongshow Flow of the Month winners for September 2014, as a new season of hair happiness is underway!
The winner this month in the player category is Johnstown Tomahawks goaltender Jake Gwillim.
The fan winner is Carson Nichols.
Gwillim, 16, is one of the younger players in the NAHL to begin this season, but he hasn’t let that stop him from making an impact. Gwillim has played in three games to date and has a 2-0 record. He also has a 2.86 goals against average and a 92.1% save percentage.
Gwillim is in his first full NAHL season in the NAHL, having played the past two seasons for the Lansing Capitals in the NAPHL.
Gwillim’s flow is basic and straightforward, something every hockey player strives for at the beginning of the season. Gwillim begins with a nice slicked look up top making sure that his black hair has a nice shine to it. Then he has decided to keep the length in the back, providing him with a sporty mullet. Every part of this hairstyle is fair game for the gel/pomade product. One of the main reasons the hair has to be this way is so the goalie mask fits comfortably over the head.
The real star of September however, may be our fan, Carson Nichols. An aspiring hockey player himself, Nichols is in mid-season form with this mullet, complete with poof up top and lines shaved into the side (circa ‘90’s Vanilla Ice). In back is a nice and traditional mullet that screams hockey player. Worthy of this month’s fan award.
