Wilf Paiement

Answer 4

The answer to this question is none. Wayne Gretzky originally chose the #99 because when he first came into the WHA with the Indianapolis Racers, the #9 he wore throughout his junior career in honor of Gordie Howe, was taken by Brian Gualazz. As an underage player, he didn't have much clout at the time, so head coach Muzz MacPherson suggested he settle on 99, which he kept throughout his career.

The person to come closest to wearing 99 was Mario Lemieux, who wore 66, which is simply 99 turned upside down.
