What number were you

[Scotty94]

Favorite players was always Modano, so I wore #9 if it was my choice. If that number was taken, I went to 19. When I got to high school varsity and both of those were in use, I wanted something more rare and went to 94.

 

[takehisheadoff]

12 It was the only number available because I was late to a practice in pee-wees Wore it every year since even paid a veteran player 100 bucks in junior of summer crap job money to get it

 

[PerpetualTankYear]

#7 always

You know how little kids always want their age as their number right?

So i was 6, playing soccer, and my dad told me not to get 6 as my number, and recomended i get 7. So i stuck with it for all these years

When i dont get 7 i get 34, because when i played soccer when i was 9 i got assigned it, then in middle school basketball i got assigned it AGAIN

so my #s are 7 and 34

 

[Betts11]

When I was younger I was assigned #5 I have just stuck with it.If not #5 then I go with #77 or #54.

 

[JLHockeyKnight]

I started late (5 years ago, age 19). I went with 25 because of Keith Primeau. Lately I've used 12 because of the numbers available for the pre-printed jerseys in the league, 12 was the only one I liked (Simon Gagne).

14 growing up. When I started playing adult league hockey i went to 51.

 

[AHF]

49.

Only awesome players wear 49, as you can see here.

 

[sepHF]

Always wanted 77 but it was never available. Settled with 17 because someone always took 7.

 

[no.95]

10 was my number growing up, I've since gone with several different numbers in different sports like 13, 16 and 33. Now I usually wear 95 after a local player who I really looked up to growing up.

 

[macleod50]

I've been #4, #9, and #50 over the last 20 years.

 

[wearethegreek]

i liked 26, then 17, now 36

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I was #3 when I started, and then I changed my number to #24. Now I use #24 when I play if I do play.

 

[Nuckles]

I have always been #37. I just like that number, I don't know why. No top athletes (that I know of) use(d) that number.

But if if that number was taken, I would use 91 or 53.

 

[micust]

7. Although 7 is popular, so I go with 77 if I can't get it. Also, I was 88 in football so if I'm really desperate I'll go with that.

 

[Kid_Roll]

Can I have your number?

Alright boys and girls.


In hockey (be it real life, video games, or imagined) what number do you use and why?


I use #93

When I play out people think I am a Gilmour fan, when I play in net, people think I might have been a Puppa fan. Both are wrong.


I randomly selected 93 with my eyes closed when I made my player in NHL 95. It has stuck with me ever since.

I pondered being #16, in honor of Linden, but I never did it, out of some sort of imagined respect of his number.

 

[JerkChicken]

My number in both hockey & soccer is/was #5.

I was a big Dana Murzyn fan back in the day (Possibly the only Dana Murzyn fan)... and he wore #5, so I wore it and have never looked back.

 

[SchennSational1022*]

96 because Pavel Bure

 

[Vaclav Varada]

73 because of Jarkko Ruutu

 

[usernam*]

91. I've been a Stamkos fan since before he was even drafted. Plus, 91 is very aesthetically pleasing for me.

If 91 is unavailable, I go 74. Don't ask me why 74 though, cause I don't know. I just like it.

 

[mrb91]

I wore 88 when I was a skater and 1 when i was a goalie. I wore more numbers but those are the only ones I remember.

 

[Remington 700]

13 because I grew up 5 minutes from where Dan Marino did and even though hockey was always my first love I wore 13 for Marino.

 

[mpleafan]

Always 13... for my boy Mats Sundin

 

[Felonious Python]

#4 initially for minor leaguer Pat Neaton. I wanted to be an offensive defenseman, but ended up playing RW more often than not.

I'm more partial to #14 now. A bit more versatile, and it still pays respect to Neaton, but also Brendan Shanahan, and a few other favorites. #24 or #44 would be my backup choices.

If I were a goalie, #34. If that wasn't available, #37 if only because it looks cool.

 

[Bramskii]

Either 8 or 17.

 

[GopherState]

25. I'm a big Neal Broten fan and while I've worn 7 before it usually got taken by somebody when I was younger. The same went with 14 and 16, so I ended up wearing 25 for a few years and it's been my number ever since.
