All Gone -- And then there were none. When Montreal rookie Guillaume Latendresse took the ice for his first NHL game, he wore No. 84. Not only was he the first player in league history to wear that number, as the Society For International Hockey Research notes, the use of No. 84 means that every number from 1 to 99 has been used on an NHL jersey.

interesting. will they ever go to 3# jerseys? (ex- 747)

Maybe they'll go with fractions, a la Blernsball.

They should start using imaginary numbers. That would be unreal.

There's a Society for International Hockey Research?

Martin Biron wore 00, until the NHL decreed that only numbers 1 through 98 would be allowed.

Jackie Robinson was The Great Emancipator. What did tGO ever do in the way of transcendent social significance -- nail a mediocre SoCal model with a gambling habit?

Teams should retire numbers for a set period of time after the player's retirement -- say, 100 years -- then put them back into service. How many single digit numbers are left for the Yankees?

Would YOU want to be the next guy to wear 99, even if it were in the twenty-second century?
