Yep, it’s that time of year again. The time in which dudes everywhere let their ‘staches grow in the name of irony charity. And, like they have in years past, the Washington Capitals will be participating.
Movember—an annual charity event that challenges men to grow their mustaches during the month of November to raise awareness and money for various health issues, like prostate and testicular cancer—first started in 2003.

This year’s Caps players who are participating include:
- Karl Alzner
