RED WING, Minn. -- Three-year-old Brady Arneson recently took 1st place in the 2008 Minnesota Mullet Contest put on by Hockey Moms Magazine.
Brady’s older brother Blake won the top mullet award in 2005.
Their dad, Goodhue County Administrator Scott Arneson, also had amulet as a child, but the award wasn’t around back then.
The mullet peaked as a hairstyle in the 1990s, but has stuck around with Minnesota hockey players who like the let their hair hang out the back of their helmet, Arneson said.
Blake hasn’t worn a mullet since he won the award and Brady isn’t planning on keeping it around, saying he’s excited to cut it off for the warm summer months.
Cute kid. Glad to hear he’s ditching the mullet.
I love this typo:
“Scott Arneson, also had amulet as a child....”
Friend of yours?
Business in the front, party in the back???
Don’t eat off the meteor Brady.
Ooooh yah. Business in da front, party in da back, you betcha. It’s part of da Minneesoota hockey uneeform, don’tchaknow dere!
When I was in high school in the early ‘80s in Virginia, you didn’t see many mullets. We had a particularly obnoxious mutation called the “rat tail”...one tiny bit of hair hanging down the back of the neck. I saw so many little boys wearing those and I HATED it.

Looks like “Barbie joins the Marines”.
Hey! I had a mullet. It even had a perm in the back.
But I agree with you.
My mullet was chopped off around 1983. Prior to that, it was cool.
The Mullet. Worn by proud trailer-trash residents everywhere.
I cry child abuse for making that kid wear a mullet at such a young age! LOL
"Who do you love?"
The official trailer-trash haircut of the U.S.
I remember the ‘rat tail’ thing very well, as it was popular in my rural town when I was elementary-school age. However, my young friends and I thoroughly appreciated them because they were very conducive to hair-pulling... us girls were happy that the playing field was becoming more level.
