What number do you wear

[LetsGoWings13 0]

My team hasn't formed yet (we're shooting for next summer), but when it does I will wear 8.

There are several mathematical reasons.

Crash Davis wore 8 in the best movie ever. The wisest words ever spoken: "Don't think. It can only hurt the ball club".

Plus, there's Cam Neely who, despite my hatred of all things Boston, has done truly amazing things and is a damn good actor ("You tell 'em Sea Bass!!).

And in one great email prank a guy asked (posing as a 10 year old lad) every single member of Congress for their favorite joke. Very few responded, but one that did replied: "What did Zero say to Eight?", "Nice belt". I'm sorry but that's just darn cute.

I also considered 39 (my HS football number and tribute to the Zonk; I was bruising fullback in the day), and 37 (from Clerks; and yes, I have the jersey.

But 8 feels good. Or at least I hope it will.

.... and 37 (from Clerks; and yes, I have the jersey.

I almost bought one of those, and one of the best scenes in any Kevin Smith movie. It's a running joke at the shop "In a row?"

As Chris Rock said: " You just don't want to know."

2!

2!!!

Well, I guess that's just the way you were raised."

My dad once told me that you had to assume that she was just as "expeienced" as you.

Yikes!!

That's one of the best scenes in any comedy.

Norm, I thought you wrote you were from Hudson, NH. How come you aren't a Hub fan?

#10....its lucky :D

[Dangles 0]

Number 3 - No specific reason. A few seasons ago, I was number 88 and I felt like I had a target on my back ala Lindros.

[Stampede 0]

5.... My girls birthday....beats buying her a present so can spend more on hockey gear.

Before that wore 7 like Chelios

[Mikael21 0]

99, im the great one :D

haha just kidding, I wear 17 (Ilya Kovalchuk)

[nafe 0]

i wear #89 (year of birth) and #7 coz i got a second hand training jersey which i love with that number n its kinda just stuck

[Vapor 0]

I use to wear 11 for messier. Then I started wearing 27 for Kovy. And then I went to 4 because of my uncle, then 27 was taken on my next team, as was 4, so I went with 24. Or you can say I did it for Ex Ranger Sundstrom.

[Michael9 57]

I have always wore the number 9, since in was about 7 years old ive had it

[Quintin 16]

Er... mainly, I wear #21 because:

- I was born on the 21st day of the 9th month.

- My brothers were born on the 21st day of the 4th month.

- My apartment no. is #21

But can't in my new team because of some idiot who wanted to keep the number but had no reason why....

So I wear #64 because it's my girlfriend's birthday (6th day of the 4th month).

Also, there would be #12 because it's my fav. player's number (IGINLA!) and it reflects #21.

#15 cuz my favorite players dany heatly and i was born on december 15th

[D3nZ 0]

I wear 26 for my favorite player as a youngster, Mats Naslund who played most of his career with the Habs then with the Bruins. If I'm not mistaken I think he is working with Hockey Sweden now.

[tsiarls79 0]

79 nothing in particular, if you can suggest a good reason, im open for it

#19...

Born October 19th.

By pure chance, I wanted #10 too, but someone took it.

[wolfshadoww 0]

I like wearing #47, but the league I'm in this year just issued me #8 (forward). I'm #1 as a goalie too, which I don't really like but can't do anything about.

[jay 1]

I wear #19 because that's the # Tony Gwynn, the last great player in a sport now overrun with juiced up meatheads, wore.

[hurricane 0]

started playing hcokey in S.C.S were they gave you a jersey that fit and you got that number, Happened to be # 7 my dads b-day---so he liked that. After that I wore the number 16--hull baby! now that I am playing again I chose the Number 7. My father pasesd away this past june and I wanted to honor the man who worked 2 jobs so I could be blessed to play this game growing up!

I respect the fact his career batting average was right around his playing weight.
