Well I'm a goalie so I gotta go with double zero. It fills up the jersey and is just too appropriate to pass up.

18

you find a number that not too many players have wore. 61 has to take consideration for the Nash supporters out there

64, and I don't know why!

Traditionally... any number that can be represented with two hands... that is, nothing greater than 55, and nothing between 46-49, 36-39, 26-29, and 16-19... this lets referees hand signal to the scorer.

I read online that kids growing up in the Howe/Richard era always wanted the number 9. When it was the Gretzky/Lemiuex era, kids wanted 66 and 99. Today, we are living in the Crosby/Ovechkin era and the most popular numbers are 87 and 8

12! Cool looking number, fills the jersey, deserves to belong to a player thats fast and skillfull.
Report (0) (0) | earlier
Jason, 9 was taken in juniors- so he doubled it up on the coach's suggestion.

99, 66, 9 and 4.

And of course 42....

Anyone get that?

If you're a goalie then you better have a 30ish number. It just looks right. 35 and 30 would be the better two numbers to choose from.

If you're a defenseman choose a low number like 2 or 8 or 9....

If you're a forward any number looks fine, but the best two are 66 and 99! lol

12.

If you notice, all the big breakaway/powerhouses are number 12.

It's a center/forwards' number too.

Take 12, there is no way to fail.

19 - Yzerman

40 - Zetterberg

13 - Datsyuk

9 - Howe

16 - Konstantinov (He was fun to watch...Like hitting a brick frickin wall)

66 and 99. Why not have the best of both worlds and go with "69"
Report (0) (0) | earlier
as for hockey, historically the studs of the team wore number 9, and a junior coach i believe told wayne gretzky that he was too good to be #9 and told him to be #99, at least thats what ive heard.

14.............just because it is my favorite number.
Report (0) (0) | earlier
19 (Yzerman, Sakic, Thornton, Naslund..)

13 has some good ones (Kozlov, Sundin, Datsyuk..)

other than that, it's pretty spread out I think..
