Well I only know three hockey players, namely Orr, Howe and Gretzky. Given we can rule out Orr, I'll go with the other two in the stated order (though wasn't Gretzky 99)? > 4.

Dan Blum: > Howe; Hull This is slightly amusing if you know that Bobby Hull and Gordie Howe were two of the three great stars -- the third was Maurice Richard, who was also guessed in this thread -- who simultaneously wore #9 for their respective teams. I suppose Gretzky's #99 was chosen in homage to that. -- Mark Brader | The way the Giants are playing this season, Newton Toronto | would have been better off standing on the wings msb@vex.net | of the Cardinals. --Richard Tanzer My text in this article is in the public domain. |

I've never heard that word, as I now learn is a North American idiom. Hence my answer ("Sh!ts") which did seem a bit unlikely. Thanks for the almost correct. cheers, calvin |
