What's in a number?

One of the first things sports fans think about when it comes to a professional athlete is their jersey number. #99, #66, #77. You don't even have to say those players names. Hockey fans will know exactly who you're talking about. That being said, it takes a pretty hardcore fan to remember not only the jersey numbers of legendary players, but of pretty much every other solid player as well.

For this jersey number quiz we've sprinkled in a few easy questions, but we've also tucked in a few curve balls as well. You will be challenged.
