BEARD TEAM CANADA COMPETING IN THE WORLDS!

Ever heard of Beard Team Canada? Well, they’re competing in The World Beard and Moustache Championships that are happening May 23 in Anchorage, Alaska and CBC Radio 3 caught up with them at the cruise ship terminal downtown where they were setting sail for Alaska. I’m assuming that a bunch of the team lives in Vancouver but I can’t be sure. Anyone know any of these bewhiskered dudes in the photo above?

    Nice! Makes me miss my beard (though it was nowhere near the facial forest-status most of these are)…There was a dude (I’m bad with names) that rolled with us up to Skate and Deploy in Whistler on Apr17th to film, and mentioned he was going up to Alaska with friends to film the World Beards and ‘Staches championships. Go Team Canada!

    Could it be bottom row, 2nd from the left?

  • Frank D.

    Nope that’s not him. Color just posted a Flickr page from Skate and Deploy. It’s this dude (Caleb Beyers) holding the Coors next to Dylan Doubt (they both could very well be Beard Team Canada athletes):

    It great to see that we Canadians can do more than play hockey . I’m gad to see the hairier side of Canada. Go Beard Team Canada Go.

    Hey, I’m the one in a flatcap with red ‘chops. We have a temp page on the Beard Team USA page that you can search. It was a wild event, and we’re beginning organization for more chapters under a national umbrella.

  • Darrell Crawford

    Hey Warren – glad to see you post so soon. Happy trails to your home in Winnipeg. Can’t wait to see the doc and other pics. What a huge success and stimulus for BTC. For now, folks can reach us here: http://www.beardteamusa.org/canada.html

  • John Burns

    Hey Warren and Darrell – good to see everyone is making it back home safely. You’ll be happy to know that our mascot (The Facial Hair Cheer Trio’s Moustache) has safely made it to Toronto, but I got plenty of strange looks on my flights here!

    John (The last guy in the picture above.)

  • http://cfchtrio.blogspot.com Cheer Trio

    We appreciate John’s dedication to the golden ‘stache. Glad it caused entertainment and not cavity searches.
    We have made it back with only one speeding ticket, one missed day of work, and one massive jump by the van over a frost heave. No lives lost.
    Cheers to you all!
    Team Canada Kicks Ass!
