Calgary Buffaloes prepare for Telus Cup quest in Nova Scotia next week [Video]

These puck-lucky blondes hope their team-building bleach job turns a trek to Nova Scotia into even more fun than they’re already having.

It’s a tradition that’s being going on for years: The Calgary U 18 Buffaloes bleaching their hair blonde before the playoffs.

For players like forward Diego Cazac it’s all about bringing the team together.

“Exactly because everyone is doing it,” said the 17- year-old.

“It’s a team (building) thing for sure,” he added, “and it builds character a lot in the room as well I think.”

A deal is a deal
