And You Thought Halloween Was Scary

My wife is absolutely dreading the fact that "Movember" is coming around again.  She loves the idea of raising money for a great cause (UO donates all money to the NHLOA's Zebras Care Charity), she hates the fact that it involves a 'stache on my face.

It ain't that bad, is it?
Umm...that's me on the left.
Check out the video on Jonas Hiller's goalie mask for Movember:

7 Days Until Movember


What's Movember?  Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache-growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.

UO wants you to join the fight.  











The hockey community, from the NHL all the way down to peewee hockey, has always been very supportive of cancer awareness and fundraising.  It's time for the "Zebras" to get in on the fight, too.

An NHL example:

Tribute: This is to all those who are in the hockey community and beyond, who have been affected by cancer. We donate our faces to you!

 Check out www.UO-MoBro.com to see this list of all the great people who joined our team.

Last Year We earned nearly $1200 in one month, which goes through my Zebra Foundation charity and on to the NHLOA's Zebras Care. Check out this blog for updates on the fabulous things that the NHLOA will do with the money. Good, heart-warming stuff.

Monthly highlights in 2010 included:
  • the "Movember for Moensie" pick up hockey game


  • the MN Wild "Guinness Book of World Records" Most Mustachioed Men in one Photo

  • The "barbs", the "jabs", the sneers at the mustaches we all grew.
Me and the Kids Getting Our "Mo" On

  • The association we have with the NHLOA's Zebras Care Charity
    The UO Mo Bros in the NHL Ref Locker Room

    The fun and enjoyment you can have bonding with a group of guys devoted to making the game of hockey the best it can be...ON and OFF the ice!


Or you can just donate right now (and grow your 'stache in November):
