The team is named by John King, a 43-year-old marketing executive and native Minnesotan. Thanks to his videos each year following the Minnesota Boys High School Hockey State Tournament, the hair of the players has become nearly as popular as the actual games.

Barry Melrose of ESPN did an E:60 special on King and the All Hockey Hair Team in 2016. In speaking with the players, it was clear that they spend all season prepping their hair in hopes of having it showcased at the tournament.

"I would love to be on [the All Hockey Hair Team]," one player told Melrose. "It was one of my goals for this year."
