The lone goose egg is the only number in NHL history that’s only been worn by one player, and it was by Neil Sheehy of the Hartford Whalers in 1988. While zero was only worn once 00 has been worn twice: once by Martin Biron for the Sabres in 1996, and once by John Davidson for the Rangers in 1978. Before 2017, number 98 had only been worn once in NHL history by Minnesota North Stars player Brian Lawton.

What's even rarer than the double-zero is the single zero in the NHL. Only one man has worn this number, and most likely you've never heard of him. No skater has ever worn this number. Two players have donned the double-zero.
