FeedNumber 99 Played For The Habs
March 29, 2009 in Montreal Canadiens, Wayne Gretzky Tags: 1934-35, Desse Roche, Habs, hockey, Joe Lamb, Leo Bourgault, number 99, Wayne Gretzky
Yes, it’s true. Number 99 was a Hab. Actually, there were three number 99′s in Montreal – Joe Lamb, Desse Roche, and Leo Bourgault, who all played in the same season, 1934-35.
So when you hear that nobody did it like number 99, maybe they meant Joe Lamb, not Wayne Gretzky!

This is what I’ve never been able to figure out – which of these three was the first to wear 99 in a regular season game? Somebody had to be first
