Across the NHL: Retired sweater numbers by franchise

Infographic showing which players have been honored by an NHL franchise by having their jersey numbers removed from circulation. Details (and Bonus) under the cut 👇

Current as of 01.01.2026

Numbers that have been removed from franchise circulation for reasons other that to honor of a former player are: Minnesota #1, Vegas #58, Seattle #32, and Florida #37 and #93.

When teams have retired a number in honor of multiple players (such as Toronto #7, King Clancy and Tim Horton) all listed twice.

The nine players who have had their numbers retired by multiple teams are: Bobby Hull (Chicago, Winnipeg*) (not to be confused with Brett Hull, St. Louis); Gordie Howe (Detroit, Hartford) (not to be confused with Mark Howe, Philly); Wayne Gretzky (LA, Edmonton; also league-wide); Ray Bourque (Boston, Colorado); Mark Messier (Edmonton, New York); Patrick Roy (Montreal, Colorado); Tim Horton (Toronto, Buffalo); "Red" Kelly (Detroit, Toronto), Scott Neidermayer (New Jersey, Anaheim).

The Atlanta Thrashers removed from circulation Dan Snyder's #37 after his death; it was not officially retired, but never re-issued before the franchise moved to Winnipeg

Bill Masterton (North Stars #19) remains the only player in NHL history to have died as a direct result of an on-ice injury.

Though Stars Neal Broten and Mike Modano played for the franchise in both Minnesota and in Dallas, only Neal Broten's #7 was retired in North Stars colors, in reference to his 12 years (out of 14) with the North Stars. (Modano spent 17 out of his 22 years with the franchise in Dallas.)

Numbers retired before franchise relocation are only listed if the number was not returned to circulation after the move.

someone should write Shane Hollander pulling a Patrick Roy saying to the team president "i've just played my last game with the canadiens" during the game

Patrick Roy was a goalie for montreal. he helped them win 2 stanley cups and then they hired a coach that hated him personally.

after this game in 1995 he got traded to the avalanche for peanuts and immediately helped them win the stanley cup that season. and again in 2001.

The Canadiens have not won a stanley cup since Roy Left and it's been 30 years.

you could easily take inspiration from this, like say if shane came out to the team and then most of the players and all of coaches/management started being assholes about it. and he finally had it in a game where his line and his coach left him out to dry. and then he has his Patrick Roy moment
