Patrick Kane will have his No. 88 retired by his OHL team, the London Knights, in a pregame ceremony Jan. 17 at Budweiser Gardens, reports to Ryan Pyette of The London Free Press.
Kane will be the ninth player in London franchise history to have his number retired and the first after playing only one season. He scored 62 goals and 145 points in 58 regular-season games then added 31 points (10 goals, 21 assists) in 16 playoff games during the 2006-07 season. For his efforts, he won the Emms Family Award as OHL rookie of the year and was runner-up to John Tavares for the Red Tilson Trophy as league MVP.
