It is hard to imagine that there are jersey numbers that have not been used in the windy city, yet for the Blackhawks, that is reality.
There have been many players who have suited up for the Chicago Blackhawks, yet there are a few numbers that have never been worn through team history.
We are not talking about retired numbers. Chicago does have six retired numbers throughout its history, but there are a handful of numbers that have just never been used before.
So here are the numbers that have not been worn:
61, 66, 69, 73, 76, 78, 79, 83, 87, 89, 96, 97, 98, 99
The NHL celebrated their 100 years of hockey a few years ago, and the ‘Hawks have played for 93 seasons thus far.
