That's right. You heard it here first. (And I heard it on the radio this morning.) At least one NHL team is taking dead aim at the core NASCAR fan-base. NASCAR is hugely popular and how has hockey decided to tap into it? By celebrating mullets! On October 21st the Vancouver Canucks will be in Nashville taking on the Predators. Its not unusual for the Preds to have country music stars sing the National Anthem. They even have a whole
web page listing all the crooners who have come to
Honky Tonk at their Gaylord areana. Fans at the Canucks game will be treated to the musical stylings of Billy Ray Cyrus who will also judge a "Best or Worst Mullet" contest between periods. I'm not a Billy Ray fan but I think this might beat the heck out of the junk we get on the jumbotron at Philips.
Announcement on Billy Ray's Website.
