You can think of pi bonds in the terms of pi electrons as well which will become more important in terms of aromaticity.

A Triple bond has 1 sigma bond & 2 pi bonds.

There are 6 electrons in a triple bond; 2 sigma electrons and 4 pi electrons.

The two unhybridized p orbitals on each atom on either side of the triple bond are perpendicular to each other. So, if you are trying to determine the number of pi electrons in an aromatic monocyclic compound and you have an uninterrupted combination of sp & sp2 orbitals (sp3 does not have p orbitals), whenever you come across a triple bond you would add 4 pi electrons and for a double bond you would add 2 pi electrons. The important thing to remember though is if the question asks for the number of electrons delocalized in the ring because of the aforementioned p orbitals in a triple bond being perpendicular only 2 of the 4 available pi electrons would delocalize in the ring. The really dirty trick is that Huckel's rule applies to electrons in the cloud, delocalized electrons.
