I used to wear 97 because I really liked roenick as a kid, then I switched to 92 for no real reason, and now I am 48 for Danny Briere, because I have the exact same playing style. Small, Fast, Finesse with a little aggression

Mainly 12 for Peter Bondra. The main reason i got into hockey when he was a rookie. Gotta give credit to the guy whom started my craze.

I was thinking that goalies can wear number 1, any number in the 20s above 26, and any number in the 30s-40s.

Any other number, and they'd be an anomaly.

I didn't pick a number until this year (first organized hockey). I was going to go with 13, because it's my wife's birthday (1/13/79), but someone on the team already had it. So I went with 79 instead.

In some ways, 79 is a better number anyway; virtually nobody else has it, and nobody really famous ever used it, so there's no issue there. It's all me. :)

From 8th to 12th grade, I wore #92 for Rick Tocchet. I started playing in 8th grade right after Tocchet was traded to the Pens. Tocchet went back to 22 that next season, but I stuck with my 92.

After that, I switched to #2 at the PSU intramural leagues. Then when I played for Pitt, I picked #29 because I couldn't get #92 back. I also have a jersey that had #44 on it for some reason, I guess some other pick-up league I was in.

#98, Kariya & Selanne are my 2 favorite players and are magic together, so I just combined their #s.

I've had a lot of numbers over the years.

96 was the first I ever wore, Bure with the Canucks.

7 was my own personal favourite, but I got bored.

Since then I've wore quite a bit of numbers..

10 (Bure), 14 (Samsonov with the Bruins), 79 (Yashin)

And #57. Just because I was absolutely in love with Jozef Balej and he wore it with the Habs. He got traded tho and never really broke out, but anyway I'm wearing this season to honour him. Had the skills to be up there with the Bondra's, Stastny's and Hossa's of Slovakia. Maybe one day he'll put it all together who knows.

I also wore 76 (Balej's AHL number) for a short stint.

I like unique numbers better so I'll probably stick to 57, fits me pretty well.

#12 in honor of Ken Gernander from the Hartford Wolf*Pack/New York Rangers organization. Ultimate team player and a leader by example, Gernander was truly a classy player and one I always looked up to.

I wear 80 because it's what they gave me (I joined the team after everyone else). If I had a choice I'd wear 27, because it's the number I wore in field hockey, and because I refuse to wear 30, 33, 35... typical goalie numbers, too boring. :p:

I wear 11 on my Thursday team because it is slimming along with our black jerseys. :) Really, I wore 11 in football.

I will wear number 4 on my new Sunday team because my little girl will be 4 shortly after session starts and she'll really like that I did that for her. Guess she's the center of my universe. :bow:
