Brent Burns' beard to be immortalized with Chia head giveaway
Brent Burns is a fine hockey player, making two All-Star teams, being named most outstanding defenseman in the 2008 World Championships, and being considered by some as a Norris Trophy candidate.
But the thing that sets the San Jose defenseman apart from all others is his beard.
