Hockey Gift: Yukon Hat
One of the most manliest hats ever put on a head is the Yukon Hat. Made of fur, and complete with don't-mess-with-me earflaps, this hat keeps you warm and makes you look like a man who could chop down a tree with his teeth. And as a bonus, this is available at Laux Sporting Goods right here in WNY, so you can get it on your last-minute gift runs.
