He changed his number 15 to 9 in 1959 for the birth of his first child Huguette who weighed nine pounds. His #9 was retired by the Canadiens.

Maurice originally played wearing the jersey number "15" but changed it to "9" in honour of his first child — Huguette — who weighed nine pounds at birth. His number has been retired by the Montreal Canadiens.

I'm not sure when he changed, it in fact he ever did, but I grew up in Montreal, and the Rocket was wearing no. 9 as long as I can remember. Games were first televised in Montreal in 1953-4, and he was wearing no. 9 at that time.
