I for one think the Gretzky league wide retirement of 99 is stupid. Why stop there? Why not 4 and 9? Brad Marchand wears 63... is he using hex to beat the system?
I even have reservations about 42 in baseball - except there was so much racism in baseball that it makes a little more sense to remind people how awful some of the owners were (especially Yawkey here in Boston).
No... we even allow it in our mens leaguesI was under the presumption that 99 is retired across all of hockey in honor of Gretzky, but it could be just the NHL. In addition, as much as 0 is allowed, I thought that 00 is not? Or is it just that you can't have both 0 and 00 on a squad simultaneously?
