CHASE "LETTUCE" WORTHINGTON III #88
Defenseman · Hartford Beauties · 1983-1988
Chase Worthington III grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut. His father was a banker. His mother
chaired the garden club. They wanted him to play lacrosse at Deerfield. He wanted to play hockey
with guys named Knuckles.
His hair was genuinely magnificent. Golden, flowing, shampoo-commercial-level lettuce that poured out of his helmet like a waterfall. It bounced when he skated. It caught the light. Opposing fans came
early to watch warmups just to see it. He had a sponsorship deal with a West Hartford salon called
"Shear Magic" that paid him $200 a month in free product. It was the most anyone on the Beauties
made from an endorsement.
His hockey was fine. Not great, not bad, fine. He moved the puck well, took good angles, and rarely
got burned. But nobody came to see his gap control. They came to see the flow. Vic Tartaglia once
described a Worthington rush as "a golden retriever on a breakaway" and it became the most accurate scouting report in franchise history.

ACHL All-Star: 1986 (hair-related voter bias suspected)
Best hair in ACHL history: confirmed
Shear Magic MVP: 5 consecutive seasons
Career highlight: scoring an overtime goal in the '85
playoffs while his hair literally blocked the
goalie's vision on the follow-through
Currently runs a hedge fund in Greenwich. Still has
great hair. It's gray now. Still magnificent.
