Who had two thumbs and wore 63? David Bolland. But no fear, this historic camp number has turned up again on the sleeves of humble newcomer Auston Matthews. Shawn McKenzie reported today that he was spotted on the ice wearing this number for development camp, which is surely meant to show him that he's in the big leagues now!
Matthews has only been wearing 34 for most of his pre-draft career, notably wearing it to win bronze for Team USA at the World Junior Championship this past year, and for his team in Zurich. Although he's already created history with 34, who knows whether Lou will allow him to wear it for the Leafs?
