great hockey traditions

i can't say i am the biggest hockey fan around, but i do like the sport a lot.  having just watched the Boston bruins when the Stanley cup i have seen two of the great traditions that this sport has.  one is the post game team hand shakes.  in most other sports at the end of a game the teams would be ready to kill each other at the end of a championship game, but in hockey the two teams line up just like we had to as youth players in all sports and shake hands.
the other thing that i love is the tradition of the players not shaving and growing a beard during the playoffs.  it makes the guys in the final match look like beasts. it's awesome. 
congrats Boston.
