More specifically, they will lie on top of a head – Jaromir Jagr’s head, to be exact – as the 43-year-old made the spectacular announcement on Monday that the mullet is coming back.

The news was broken via Miami Herald reporter George Richards, who spoke with the ageless wonder after the team’s practice on Monday.
“I’m growing it back”. Well, you won’t for much longer because the Florida Panthers forward is bringing it back for the 2015-16 season.
And Luongo was quick to take credit for the hair-raising (bad pun intended) news, re-tweeting Richards announcement and adding, “Guys we did it!!!”
“Jagr is one of the greatest athletes of all-time”, Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said.
Jaromir Jagr will look a little different this season, but in a familiar way. He has actually appeared in more National Hockey League games than the Panthers franchise has played – and remember, he even spent a few years playing in Europe instead of on this side of the Atlantic.
Since his return from the KHL in 2011, fans have been clamoring for him to bring back the hairstyle. As expected, Jagr didn’t back down, and is a man of his word.
