Gretzky - 99, Lemieux - 66, Crosby - 87, there is no shame in wearing a high number and it is the player in the sweater that counts. Let the new players wear any number they like and hopefully in 25 years they will have another set of numbers to retire.

.... I believe he wore #14 in Montreal. (Don't quote me there though) I'm pretty sure Darby also wore #63 at one point in Montreal too Yes, I Googled "Craig Darby Jersey Number" and the page franko posted comes up on the first page of results, with a big #63, along with #14 listed as "other number". But I checked, and so far I find that he wore #14 with the Flyers in 97-98. No record of it on the Habs (that I can find). He wore #63 in 99-00, 00-01, and 01-02 with the Habs. The question is what number did he wear for his 10 games with the Habs in 94-95? Hockey-reference says #10…but I think that's a typo. Nobody has worn it since Lafleur's ceremony in 1985. That could be it. 10 games of wearing #14 , as no one else is credited with wearing that jersey on hockey-reference. Kevin Haller had worn it from 91-92 to 93-94, and it doesn't show up again until Terry Ryan in 96-97. Seems plausible. This is his 94-95 Upper Deck card

This may be the only time that Craig Darby and retired number is in the same conversation

This is his 94-95 Upper Deck card Awesome...for all of 10 games, he had a hockey card. Obviously not a studio shot (unless Upper Deck used only action shots that year.) Excellent....thanks for posting that pic!

I'm told some fans already have it tattooed on their arms

They retired Butch Bouchard's jersey. Can Parros and Vanek be far behind?
