What number do you wear

[Hieroglyphics guy 0]

44 here too, used to wear 88 due to Coffey wearing 77 and Lemieux wearing 66. Had my choice of a few numbers that already had jerseys made, since 44 is half of 88, here we are. Probably a better number for a d-man anyways...

totally agree. 44 over 88 anyday haha

In response to an above question, I picked 67 because I was watching a Pens game and thought the big numbers looked cool...but after a not so great year and a lot of illness, I went back to 9 as I wore it my whole life (copied my uncle who wore it in HS in the late 80's because 99 was taken). So far my best season has been wearing 16 for Brett Hull, but if I had to pick a new number, it'd be 77 for Bourque (I'm a short offensive defenseman).

How about 42 for Gerbe or 26 for St Louis? They're not D, but they're short!

It's actually quite interesting watching player number selection. It seems like the smallest guy on every college team right now wears 26, it's gotta be due to Marty.

I wear 31 when playing goal (which hasn't happened in a few years). I wore 31 for a couple reasons, Grant Fuhr (31), Kirk McLean (1), and Bill Ranford (30). Plus, when I started playing, my older brother wore 13, and it just worked out all the way around.

When I play defense, which is more often these days, I wear 62. I just doubled 31 and there you have it.

I wear # 22 because of Willie O'Ree. If that # is taken I wear # 8 because of Tony Mckegney. As a kid he was my favourite player.

My first few years I went with 10 because of Pavel Bure (couldn't get 66), but when my style of play changed as I moved up I switched to 21 for Peter Forsberg.

[Fire0nIce228 1]

I wore 8 becuase thats the number they gave me first year of travel soccer (happend to be 8th alphabetically on the roster). Just carried it over to hockey. Wore 8 for midgetts, had to wear 22 for highschool because 8 was taken, and the 22nd was highschool sweeties birthday.. god what a mistake, coulda picked such a cooler number.

[K9 Unit 1]

hey! 22 is awesome :P my third number of choice

[Skoda10 14]

Wore 14 in HS, just what I was assigned sophomore year and kept it for the rest of the time, rocked 10 in college, in honor of our HS captain, he was killed in a car accident right before senior year. When I can't wear 10 in mens league now I like to roll with 44, I like how 4s look on jerseys.

Well, I joined a team this year and was planning on wearing 27 for Hextall (even though I'm a skater), but that was already taken. So I chose 10.

I'm not quite sure why, but I've always had a thing for #10. Maybe it's for John LeClair, maybe for Pavel Bure, or maybe it's just some unexplainable fascination that goes back to when I was a kid.

i would have to say 14 because when i was abotu 8 yrs old i foun out brian gionta was my second cousin so i started wearing the "14" like he previously wore in new jersey

33. I'm a big guy, and a Chara and Byfuglien fan, along with having a deep respect for Keith Magnuson, so something with a 3 in it made sense. Plus, our goalies wear 1 and 30, so no conflict there

Hello Everyone!

for me its 85, 9, or 37.. or 6

[LeMagnifique 0]

37....It was my laundry number in boot camp. For the first two weeks that is all they called us by...well that and a bunch of other things, but you can use your imagination on those :P

[JDeezy 0]

back in high school Iwore #2 for Brian Leetch, #68 for Jagr and then #69 just to be a pervert :P

Now I wear #1 because I'm cocky, no one will fight over it, and because I am one of a kind in many ways. :D

[starsfan71 9]

I tend to wear 69 in summer league, just to be "that guy" also known as the biggest douche on the ice.

[Zillafan37 1]

order of preference:

1. 44 (grandfathers number)

2. 52 (old football number, my first number)

3. 31 (fiancee's number)

[Wolverine 0]

(16) for over 35+ years.

Now, however, I wear number (5). My best friend who I grew up and played every sport with has cancer. He was always #5. Number 5 will stay on my back until he fully recovers........ or, until I can't play anymore!

[larrivee 3]

I wore 19 when I was young cause i was pretty damn good. Now I am slow and fat with hands like bricks, so I picked 4 (Lecavalier), hahaha.

One of teammates has always worn four so I switched to 41. Now one of my teammates wants me to switch to 16 because I am our team's Avery =)
