As a kid, I had a Hawks touque that my grandmother gave me…. she saw I needed one and went to get whatever one was in the discount bin. She knew I liked hockey, so she got me that.
I wore it cause she got it for me (and would make me wear it if I went outside anyways).
I was a 5-6 year old going to school with a Hawks logo on my forehead in the Montreal area.
It was my own personal version of the “Hockey Sweater”.
Traumatized til this day.
Also, still kinda miss that that itchy rough wool knitted touque.
that’s actually a really heartwarming (and headwarming) story.
