I was thinking about getting one of my parents birth dates as my number like Hannu Toivonen does. But those numbers aren't available for High School

I was always under the following impression:

A team dresses 20 players. #1 was reserved for the starting goalie, #20 for the backup. As for the numbers in between, the lower numbers were for defense, and the higher numbers for the forwards.

I don't know where I got this information - maybe I was watching a Tretiak biography or something. I'm certainly not insisting it's accurate, though.

I always was #29 but since i've started ice hockey i got stuck with #33 since they didn't have my usual. I picked #29 since i was a kid because Felix Potvin was my hero... not because i'm a toronto fan... but because i thought he had mad skills.

#1 on one team.

#33 on my own team.

33 is Patrick Roy, the greatest goaltender of them all.
