We all have these photos sitting somewhere in our parents’ house. You know, that school picture from when you were 14 and had jheri curls. Or maybe you had a flat top. Point is, we all have ’em. But not all of us have the pleasure of having them taken by a professional photographer on biggest night of our lives. Ah yes, the growing pains of young NHL draftees. I hope those millions in future earnings will be enough to salt away these awkward photos. This week, we’ll be posting the awkwardest pictures from the draft. Today’s victim: Alex Theriau, 4th round, Dallas Stars.
All that being said, if anyone does see Alex Theriau, please notify the authorities. His family misses him.

Update: File the following under “Things I Never Thought I Would Read While Googling the Proper Spelling of ‘Jheri Curls”
From wikipedia:
The Jheri Curls were a Dominican gang which was active in the Washington Heights, Manhattan neighborhood of New York City in the early 1990s. Taking their moniker, and coiffures, from the Jheri curl hairstyle that was of waning popularity in the United States during the time, the gang ran a major cocaine trafficking operation in upper Manhattan which was ultimately based out of an apartment complex on W. 157th St. and Riverside Drive.
