Hockey Hall of Fame

Welcome, hockey fans, to a journey through the hallowed halls of hockey history! We're embarking on a series dedicated to the elite few – the immortals enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

From the pioneers who carved their names on the frozen canvas to the modern-day marvels redefining the sport, the Hall of Fame boasts a pantheon of legends. These are the players whose brilliance, dedication, and impact on the game have earned them a place among hockey's royalty. Welcome to the section that celebrates the house where the North American Ice Hockey Legends reside in memorium for future generations to respect what they have done for the game.

Here, you will find the players in the Hall and examine the top players at each jersey number in our ongoing pursuit to preserve the player, uniform, and team history.


The Famous NHL Players that Wore the Number 0 & 00 Jersey

Ever pondered over the audacity of those who chose to wear the numbers 0 or 00 in the NHL? These two numbers, amidst a sea of single digits and high numbers, stand out as bold and unique choices. In this series, we'll unveil the intriguing tales of the men who dared to defy convention and proudly donned the 'double zeroes '.

Prepare to be surprised! We'll meet a goaltender who, in a moment of youthful humor, chose the number 00, only to face equipment limitations and a league not quite ready for the double digits. This was during a time when the NHL was still adjusting to the idea of players wearing numbers higher than 9. We'll also explore the career of the lone player ever to wear the single zero, a journeyman forward whose story highlights the depth and diversity of the NHL.

Embark on a journey with us as we dig deep into the archives, dissect the rationale behind these unconventional jersey numbers, and scrutinize the careers of these players. Did they meet the expectations (or lack thereof) of such unconventional choices? Brace yourself for a fascinating expedition into the peculiar realm of NHL jersey history – the domain of the 'double zeroes'!
