Blackhawks & Beards

Is it just my imagination or are beard-wearing men on the increase in Chicago? I wonder if it's due to the popularity of the Chicago Blackhawks (ice hockey team) or the extreme polar vortex last winter, or some other factor? One thing's for sure -- I seem to be noticing a lot of young men with beards around the city these days!  

[Just after I posted this, I spotted a BBC article comparing the current trend for beards with a similar trend in Victorian times (mid-1800s onwards) so I guess I wasn't imagining things. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30037914]
