[Max Cow Disease]

Calgary: meaningful ceremony takes place where the Chief of Police or various members of the Calgary Fire Department present the team's captain with a hat or helmet in the hopes that it will inspire the team. Various formalities are exchanged and said hat or helmet is then donned by whichever player best exemplifies the traits that its meant to represent.

Edmonton: Hendricks goes to the store, sees motorcycle helmet, thinks it's sick, calls buddies who confirm that it's sick. Buys helmet, brings to locker room.

You can't make this stuff up...
