A playoff beard is the superstitious practice of male athletes not shaving their beards during the playoffs. Playoff beards were introduced by ice hockey players participating in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and are now a tradition in many sports leagues. Many fans of professional sports teams also grow playoff beards. The player stops shaving when his team enters the playoffs and does not shave until his team is eliminated or wins the Stanley Cup (or equivalent championship).

  • Een play-offbaard is een ritueel (mogelijk uit bijgeloof) in voornamelijk het ijshockey. Veel spelers scheren hun gezichtshaar niet als ze in een eindtoernooi zijn beland. Het ritueel startte in de jaren tachtig door de New York Islanders en tegenwoordig laat bijna iedere speler zijn baard staan tijdens de Stanley Cup-play-offs, op het WK of op de Olympische Spelen. Tijdens langdurige play-offs, zoals de Stanley Cup-play-offs van de National Hockey League, wordt er aardig wat baardhaar gekweekt. In de finale vechten dan twee teams met behaarde kaken om de trofee. De speler mag zich weer gaan scheren als hij uitgeschakeld is. (nl)

  • Slutspelsskägg är skägg som odlas av idrottsutövare. Björn Borg startade denna trend som senare blev särskilt vanlig inom lagsporter under pågående slutspel eller matchserier. Det bidrar till lagandan och förknippas av många med vidskeplighet – det skulle bringa otur att raka sig inför en viktig match menar den vidskeplige. I Sverige förknippas slutspelsskägg traditionellt lagom till slutspel, och vanligtvis inom ishockey. Traditionen är till och med så stark att lagets supportrar brukar ta upp den. (sv)
