77, which I orginally got playing Pop Warner football. No real signficance, when it was jersey issue time I was hoping to get 50 or 53. I was third in line so I was somewhat confident I'd get it. 53 went first, 50 went second. 77 looked cool so I took it and it stuck. Took it over to hockey (and track for that matter).

i've always liked 16 best and 96 2nd best, not sure exactly why, think maybe 16 for Bobby Clarke when i was younger, and Bure who wore 96 for a little while. althought there not even my favorite players. i've also worn 3 which has grown on me.

13 and the significance is obvious, eh?

Edit: and this is for volleyball, I haven't played hockey in...umm..15 years, only a little bandy. Probably would fall on my ass if I tried now :)

I used to be #44 because Rob Niedermayer was my favorite player for years in Floriday, but then I was issued 66 and wore that, and then was and had been #96. It's Pavel Bure's number from when he was electric back for the canucks a long time ago and Bure was my favorite player in FLA. Last year though, our coach wouldn't let us pick any high numbers so I went with #16. I'm gonna be #96 again next year though.

Awesome topic!

I wear #58 both as a defenseman (ball hockey) and a goalie (ice). No real significance, but how often do you see #58? I can only think of one player (J-F Fortin, Caps) who I've seen wear it. At least I think it's J-F, could be J-P. I'm sure a Caps fan will clear that up for me.

Used to wear 18 and 15 when I played minor hockey.

Yup it is J-F Fortin. He wore 12 for the Portland Pirates this past season. Just a piece of usless info.

#22 - comes from my lacrosse playing days and the legends of #22 on the lax field at Syracuse...ironically where I am now. If that's not available, any palindrome will do...i've worn 33, 11, 44 before

In all sports

it's either 00 or 68

68 in full sexual reference to 69, you do me and I'll owe you one

Never really grew out of it so to this day those are my numbers.

My first choices were always 7 and 10.. Thats like 90% of everyone so I wont count those.

9, 22, 87 are my other favs because its my birth date.

(September 22, 1987)

And now Crosby made #87 famous... I should use it more often :handclap:

#42 - Hey, I'm a mathematician, therefore I HAVE to take that number.

Otherwise I'd coose #84, because that is a) my birth-year and b) 42*2 :)

If I was anywhere to wear a number, it would be 39. Not particularly sure why.

Number 2. No way was it after any NHL player. Favorite team was the Leafs at the time and Garth Butcher was #2. Just liked the number. Was also issued #12 one year as well, so it's kinda partial to me.
