This is a complete list of National Hockey League (NHL) retired numbers. A retired number is a jersey number that is taken out of circulation by a team as a means of honoring a former member of that team who wore that number.
The first team to retire a number were the Toronto Maple Leafs, who retired Ace Bailey’s #6 on February 14,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1934, prior to an All-Star game in his honor.
There are currently 96 retired numbers in the NHL. There are also 13 “honoured numbers,” all issued by the Toronto Maple Leafs. A further 7 numbers were retired, by the Hartford Whalers and Quebec Nordiques, but upon the relocation of the two teams the numbers were put back into circulation. By comparison, the Phoenix Coyotes continue to honor the numbers retired when the franchise was the Winnipeg Jets.
Only one number has been retired league-wide. Upon the retirement of Wayne Gretzky, it was announced that no other player would again wear his number, 99. The Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings have also separately retired Gretzky’s number.
Upon joining the league in 2000, the Minnesota Wild had a ceremony retiring #1 from circulation as a tribute to the fans.
Two numbers have been retired in honor of two different players. Number 12 in Montreal Canadiens for Dickie Moore and Yvan Cournoyer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], number 3 in Chicago Blackhawks for Pierre Pilote and Keith Magnuson. The New York Rangers retired number 9 for Andy Bathgate and Adam Graves.
Only six players have had their number retired by two different teams:
Bobby Hull - Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets
Gordie Howe - Detroit Red Wings and Hartford Whalers
Wayne Gretzky - Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings (also retired league-wide)
Ray Bourque - Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche
Mark Messier - New York Rangers and Edmonton Oilers
Patrick Roy - Colorado Avalanche and Montreal Canadiens[1]
