Trivial but why not? Should the NHL allow players to wear 0 and 00 ?

[5 Minute Major]

The NBA, NFL, and MLB let players wear No. 0. Should the NHL?

The NFL recently changed its rules to allow players to wear No. 0. Should the NHL follow suit?

www.dailyfaceoff.com

Other major sports leagues have allowed it, should the NHL?

Martin Biron was the last to wear 00 before the NHL banned it. I don’t see why it shouldn’t be brought back into circulation.

I really don’t see why not. We have ads on jerseys now so anything is possible

 

[NVious]

Sure ion care

Would like Shesterkin to wear 00.

Then whenever he shuts out the Pens he could pull up the crest of his jersey showing the numbers and mock the fans. Would be awesome lol

 

[Elvs]

Nah, I think #00 should be retired league-wide in honor of Guy Germaine

 

[Jauffre]

It's redundant, and looks kinda bush-league IMO. But I wouldn't protest it.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Yes as well as three digits

 

[North Cole]

I think so, would be on point with the amount of gambling spam we get.

 

[kylek023]

I don't see why not

 

[blundluntman]

I’d love to see them come back. They just look cool to me for some reason

Biron mentioned that the scoresheet shorthand for a misconduct was double zero so he was asked to change his number.

Only if it's green.

Would look stupid and/or hilarious on Ottawa’s “O” jerseys (do they still wear them?).

 

[Three On Zero]

No

@NyQuil @Very Stable Genius do you guys still wear those jerseys?

i can't stand seeing people wear that number in other sports. not for any particular reason...i just think it looks ridiculous and i'd want to see someone weld their eyes shut

 

[Dirty Dan]

Only if it's green.

and for the Golden Knights, that house always win

Apparently the reason why the NHL banned 0 and 00 was because their computer databases couldn't handle it.

(granted this was in 1996 when they did it)

What's redundant? 00? What about 11,22,33, etc?

I'm all for it. 0 and 00 are good goalie numbers lol

Databases even back then were able to handle it. It was lazy NHL developers who couldn’t.

 

[MikeyMike01]

It should definitely be 0 and not 00

 

[Woodrow]

Does any NHL'er want to wear one of those numbers?

 

[wasunder]

Sure why not, can’t believe they thought this topic was important enough to ban in the first place.

Working on the important problems I guess.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Ok, but what about #69? Perfectly good number, has a certain symmetry to it. But no one wears it. Can’t figure out why.
