MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Im looking to possibly select a new number for my ice hockey team. The team is changing jerseys this summer, and we are going from Habs white, to Leafs blue. (I swear its true, I couldnt make this crap up)When I joined this team 2yrs ago, a lot of my usual numbers were taken. (81,27,87,71,44)I went with 28. (date my son was born)Now, Im gonna have Tie Domi's number if I dont change, and I just cant do that. Already taken: 6,7,11,13,14,16,22,23,27,35,40,81,83,87,91,99so, based on whats taken above, what should I choose? Im leaning towards the following, but willing to consider any suggestions, especially if its the right Leaf player....9-Lanny10-Anderson21-Salming71- My usual ball hky number44- My number when I played DI was gonna post the question in the Leafs thread, but thought this might be fun to see what numbers others picked,so....what's your number and why?

SBriand 4 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 In youth league soccer from age 5- 14 I was 11 or 13. In High School I was 24.In hockey I have always been 81.I think you should take number 21. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I wore 4 for my entire career (i played my first year of junior as a defenseman). In a leaf jersey, that would make you Red Kelly...... I believe he was Armenian too.... Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 My number has always been 12. However, I think 8 is the most aesthetically pleasing jersey number, I'd go with that. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Woah, I was always 21 too. My birthday is the 21st.You want a number that is hard to confuse with other numbers, so the scorer can't award your points to someone else. 00 is a good one! Any doubles usually work.I was always 4 or 14. I played at low levels where the jersey numbers were based on size. 1-5 would be small, 6-10 medium, etc. Sometimes it would go the opposite, and I'd end up with 14. I was small...didn't have much choice!The correct choice is 17 or 93 though, depending on your playing style. Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 AWESOME that you are changing your colours..I would quit a team that made me wear Habs red..My number has always been 22...From the numbers you listed 44 and 71 are hot dog numbers...If you like to be respected I wouldnt wear those..10 is an aweseome number as well as 21...Crap...we have something in common. (As referenced in my avatar)I'm not too happy with your disrespect of 44 (Free Candy) and 71 (Geno) though. Hopefully they're reading this and make your team pay on Sunday.I'd have to suggest you go with #10 but only in honor of Ron Francis. Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't make it less awesome. - the best instance of his signature goal celebration but was still interrupted. - Ron Hextall didn't like him too much either. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I wore 4 for my entire career (i played my first year of junior as a defenseman). In a leaf jersey, that would make you Red Kelly...... I believe he was Armenian too....I wore 44 because 4 was taken.That, and cause I was dirty-ish like Pronger, so seemed to fit. (he wore 44 with Whalers)Serge, I like hotdog numbers. Even moreso when I can back it up. Dev, I totally forgot the Leafs-Francis connection. I seriously block that time out. well done.Ok, I was really leaning towards 71, but 10 might have it now....interesting list of Leafs who wore #10- Syl Apps, George Armstrong, John Anderson, Glenn Anderson, Peter Bellefeuille, Bill Berg, Vince Damphousse, George Ferguson, Ron Francis, Aaron Gavey, Butch Keeling, Ted Kennedy, Don Metz, Zdenek Nedved, Eric Pettinger, Joe Primeau, Marian Stasny, Alexander Steen, Garry ValkMarian Stastny baby! Suprised I forgot Damphousse, loved the Andersons. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bill Berg?GARRY VALK.True story:At Northern High School (in Toronto, about 3000 kids) in the late 90's, some kids decided to start a "vote for Rory" type campaign for Valk. The difference? It was for student class president. I have heard conflicting stories, but apparently he received more votes than any candidate. Since he...wasn't a student, an official tally was never released.Apparently only a couple hundred votes were counted, since such a huge majority of the votes were considered invalid.Awesomes.
