Let me rephrase the question, it should be, when will the Chicago Blackhawks retire Steve Larmer‘s number? Larmer is a Blackhawks’ legend, holding a streak of 11 straight seasons without missing a single game.
That isn’t a misprint, that’s 11 straight seasons without missing a single regular-season game. Larmer was one of the last true iron men in hockey, that also put up numbers on the score sheet. I don’t know which is more impressive.
Larmer played in 891 games for the Blackhawks, where he scored 406 goals and had 517 assists for a total of 923 points.
