What numbers in NHL?

Answer 1

Your question is kind of broad so I'll answer as best I can. The league has 30 teams based in 6 Canadian cities and 24 in the US. There are approximately 700 players in the league at any one time. Each team plays 82 games a season . 16 teams make the playoffs and can play a minimum of 4 games or a maximum of 28 depending on how far they advance and how long each series goes. Like any sports league, the NHL keeps a load of individual and team stats. For a look at these stats go to a good hockey site like that of the Hockey News or the NHL. They always have up-to-date stats on players and teams.

In case this question is about jersey numbers, any number from 1 to 98 is eligible to be worn on an NHL jersey by any player, regardless of position, unless it has been retired by the player's team. 99 was once an active number, but was retired league-wide when Wayne Gretzky retired. 00 and 0 were also once usable numbers, but have not been since 1998. While numbers are not officially assigned to specific positions, certain numbers are often traditionally worn by certain positions - 1 and numbers ending in 0 are often preferred by goalies, for example.
