What's your favourite hockey number?

[steveoath]

I hear people saying such and such number isn't a good number etc. Or certain nos should be reserved for Fwds or D. 

Anyhoo, what's your favoured number?

Me its Def 26. Two main reasons... Dahlin was a highlight of my first season watching sabres hockey and Matt Beca of the Glasgow Clan who seems to score at each match I get to go to!

19 followed closely by 91, both worn by the great Joe Sakic. 

[Zamboni]

00 or 88 

Although single digits are pretty sick.

[Randall Flagg]

26, 9, or 43.

[spndnchz]

6 or 9, or 69. 

[Thorner]

^ Nice. 

I think probably 16. 

[Huckleberry]

Same as my football number.   4

[North Buffalo]

6, 17 and 40... these are numbers I have worn.

[dudacek]

11 has always been my number of choice.

Oddly enough, it was my wife’s as well, long before we met.

[Skibum]

3 is a magic number.

 

[Weave]

24, regardless of the sport.

[Taro T]

2.

[Tondas]

2 and 9.  Not favorites but that's always what I got  From squirt through high school.  Didn't really care what number I got.  Seems strange to me to be so attached to a number.  As long as I got to play, I didn't care.

For hockey and baseball: 12.

But for docking bays: 94.

94. 

[SABRES 0311]

14

[Two or less]

Sorry for the cop out and giving you two but I just couldn’t choose: 19 and 37. 

[Eleven]

Tough call here,

[French Collection]

11 for hockey, soccer and basketball. I dreamed of flying like Gil, but was a lousy skater.

I wore 5 in baseball, George Brett was a hero there.

Love this question. 

Growing up, I had two older brothers. We're all mid 50's now. Anyway, we played street hockey all the time. My oldest brother was GP (11), my other bro RM (7) and me, well of course, RR (14).

It was because of this that RR was my favorite Sabre and fave number.

 

OP, thanks for bringing back very fond memories. Time flies.

like 01? ?

[Kruppstahl]

I generally have no interest in who wears what number.

I do sort of favor the old, single digit numbers however.

Wayne Gretzky was cool going with 99 at the time.  

Now the high number thing has been done to death.

When I was a youth my favourite Sabre Dman was Hajt.  Liked his game and modelled mine after him.  Adopted #24 and it is the only number that I ever wore up until retirement after college.  I never played at a more organzed level other than High School and College House League.  I blew out my knee, kind of, at an early age.

Other than you are a Jeff Gordon fan, why? 

[SwampD]

My hockey numbers are 5 and 44.

5 because I don’t know, and 44 because of Zhitnik.

 No.  Wore it in every sport I played.
