Doctor Hook 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 I recently switched from 26 to 2 on my new beer league squad. Being a defenseman, I've always admired the great blueliners who rocked the deuce: Leetch, MacInnis, Shore, Wesley, et al. Also, since I've joined a new team and moved back to Boston, I decided it was time for a fresh start and look. I always had an informal jersey numbers rule for hockey: - Goalies should only wear 1, anything in the 30s, or maybe high 20s or early 40s - Defensemen wear 2-6, or 14 and above- Forwards should wear 7 and above- Goons should wear high 20s or football linemen numbersJust my goofy opinion.

B-Nads 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Well, I wasn't on here in '05, so I'll chip in.I used to wear 10 when I was a kid - Lafleur.When I was in my teens it was all 8 - Neely.After playing on a team where some other Cam fan snagged 8, I grabbed 19 - Sakic.I now have 2 jerseys I wear in my beer league - 57 - the birthdays of my two sons...definitely not for Garth Murray, and 73 - I am the only Newf in the league, so I figured I'd take Ryders number as a joke.

Wolfpack_1986 154 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 39... an older friend who i look up to a bit wears it. though, he's a center as am I... i know its usually a goalie number, never asked him why he picked it. it's just what he's worn through the time his career took off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwclifto 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Used to wear #9 as a kid (Adam Graves). A few years later I sported #36 because of Barnaby. When I was in net as a kid I wore #39 for Cloutier. Currently wearing #27 in my beer league because I really didn't have a choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
