Wow, this came up in the GGSU yesterday, same poster? I use 33, for obvious reasons, Mr. Roy.
This is a discussion on What is your Goalie Number? And why did you choose that one? within the The Locker Room forums, part of the The Goalie Crease category; Mine is #20 for one of the best of all time Tretiak....
Mine is #20 for one of the best of all time Tretiak.

95
I use this number whatever sport I play and whatever position.
I don't know why, I just like it.

I wear 39... I would have picked 35 but it was already taken (by a fwd! what's up with that?!). I won't wear 30 because even though it's a "goalie number" I'm in NJ and everyone will assume it's for Marty but I am NOT a Devils fan. Haha. So I went with 39, because it's an odd number (I don't like even numbers) and if it was good enough for Hasek, it's good enough for me.
I am #30 because it makes me look bigger.. LOL :)
Cheers

It was #1 until Ken Dryden came around, than it's been #29 forever. GoHabsGo
My first number was 39 it was for Hasek when he was in Detroit and I was 6 about this time. The next was 37 for Kolzig and I ran that for a couple years. Then after a couple years of playing forward I changed my number to 48. One reason was for Daniel Briere and the 2nd reason was I just wanted something totally random so people ask me "why did you choose this #?" So I ran #48 for a few years then now I have #30 for Ryan Miller and thats the only goalie jersey my school has that fits me for goalie![]()

31...never liked having to be either 1 or 30, so when I finally got to the level I could choose I picked 31
