Wayne Gretzky 's #99 was retiredleague -wide in 2000[ 1] This is a completelist of numbers retired by theNational Hockey League (NHL) . Aretired number is ajersey number that is taken out of circulation by a team as a way of honouring a former member of that team who wore that number; after the number's retirement, members of that team are not permitted to wear the number on their jerseys unless by permission of the original number holder.
The first team to retire a number was theToronto Maple Leafs , which retiredAce Bailey 's number 6 on February 14, 1934, prior to anAll-Star game organized in his honour.The NHL currently has 186 retired numbers, 10 former retirements and 25 honoured numbers. Most of the numbers retired by theHartford Whalers andQuebec Nordiques were put back in circulation when those franchises relocated and became theCarolina Hurricanes andColorado Avalanche , respectively, although the Hurricanes keepGordie Howe 's number 9 unofficially retired. TheMinnesota North Stars ' two retired numbers were carried over when that franchise relocated to become theDallas Stars , and remain retired today. During its existence, theArizona Coyotes had a policy of retaining the numbers retired when the franchise was theWinnipeg Jets but reversed it after the Phoenix Coyotes were sold and became the Arizona Coyotes; these were retroactively classified ashonoured numbers as part of the Arizona Coyotes Ring of Honor. Honoured numbers are similar to retired numbers, except that they remain available for use by other players. Presently, only theCalgary Flames , theSt. Louis Blues , and theWinnipeg Jets (the latter honouring the players of the original Jets) employ this designation.
Wayne Gretzky 's number 99 was retired league-wide in 2000;[ 1] Edmonton Oilers andLos Angeles Kings also separately retired his number.
As of February 2026[update] Utah Mammoth and theWinnipeg Jets have no retired numbers. Five teams have retired six numbers that are not those of former players from their franchises: theOttawa Senators ,Florida Panthers (x2),Minnesota Wild ,Seattle Kraken , andVegas Golden Knights .
Twelve numbers have been retired by a team in honour of two different players.
Nine players have had their number retired by two different NHL teams:
Key Elected to theHockey Hall of Fame Number retired league-wide Never played for that particular franchise Number retired by a team for multiple players
Italics denote numbers that will be retired during the2025–26 NHL season .

Notes ^ Finnigan did not play for the current Senators franchise, which does not retain the history of the original team. The number he wore was retired because he played for the original Senators franchise and was active in campaigning to bring a new franchise to Ottawa. ^ The Florida Panthers retired the number 37 to honor former owner Wayne Huizenga, who owned the team between 1993 and 2001. ^ The Minnesota Wild retired this number to honor their fans prior to their first game on Oct 11, 2000. ^ O'Ree is elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder. ^ The number honors both the franchise being the 32nd to join the NHL, and the 32,000 fans who placed deposits for tickets on the first day they were available. ^ At the time of its retirement, number 27 was worn byAnders Lee , and is allowed to continue wearing the number with Tonelli's blessing. ^ The Florida Panthers retired the number 93 to honor president and general manager Bill Torrey because the team was founded in 1993. Torrey was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder in 1995. ^ This number was retired in honor of the 58 people who were killed in the2017 Las Vegas shooting . Unofficially retired numbers [ edit ] These numbers are not considered officially retired, but have still been removed from circulation.
Key Unlike retired numbers, these honoured numbers were not necessarily withdrawn from circulation. Some of the numbers honoured remain in circulation, while others have been removed from circulation without being officially retired.
A few uniform numbers of theoriginal Winnipeg Jets were honoured by both thecurrent Jets (originally theAtlanta Thrashers ) and theArizona Coyotes , the relocated incarnation of the original Jets. These numbers remain in circulation by both teams. As of April 2024, the Coyotes have been deactivated by the NHL.

Notes Former retired numbers [ edit ] It is very rare for a team to reissue a retired number, and usually requires a special circumstance, such as a number being requested for a family member (such asBobby Hull asking thePhoenix Coyotes to allow his sonBrett to wear Bobby's number 9),[ 107] Mario Lemieux ).
In cases of franchise relocation, the handling of existing retired numbers is at the discretion of team management. They may decide to continue honouring the retired numbers, such as theDallas Stars and Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes, or they may choose to make a "fresh start" and reissue the numbers, as theColorado Avalanche andCarolina Hurricanes have done.
The Hurricanes have an unusual exception with regards toGordie Howe 's number 9. While the Hurricanes have not made any formal recognition of theHartford Whalers ' retirement of the number, they have kept the number out of circulation since their 1997 relocation.[ 99]
TheRed Wings andLarry Aurie 's number 6 are also something of a unique situation, as the number was officially retired, then un-retired so that his cousin,Cummy Burton , could wear it, much as theJets/Coyotes did for the Hulls. It was then re-retired until 2000, when the Red Wings ordered it removed from the NHL's Official Guide and Record Book. Despite the unretirement, number 6 is still not available to be worn in Detroit.
Key Former honoured numbers [ edit ] TheArizona Coyotes relocated toSalt Lake City , Utah in 2024 and became theUtah Mammoth . The Mammoth are officially recognized as an expansion team that does not own the history of the Coyotes.
Key Notes ^ Leighton Accardo never played for the franchise, but was a member of the Arizona Kachinas youth hockey program, a fan of the Coyotes, and signed a one-day contract with the team in 2019 before she died at nine years old from cancer on November 24, 2020. Her youth hockey number of 49 was placed into the Ring of Honor and the Coyotes wore an "LA49" decal on their helmets throughout the 2020–21 season. ^a b c "Perfect setting: Gretzky's number retired before All-Star Game" .
