It's symbolic of the old school way and an "all business" mindset.
Lou Lamoriello does the same thing with his teams, including the '96 US World Cup team and the '98 Nagano team. Of course, in the case of the latter squad, the low numbers didn't exactly translate into any discernible measure of discipline. LOL

It's for team immunity. They say that if you can't pick your own number from 1-99, that it will make you less self centered in your play. Also, if a player is good & wears a high number, he is easy to target because you know his number isn't a low number. If everybody has a number that's 1-25 (with exception of the typical 30s #s for goalies), you can't pick a person out from his number. & If I remember correctly, the Devils do that

I'm of the opinion ALL teams should do that... very old school... all business as someone pointed out. It used to be that way in basketball, as it would allow the referees to use two hands to signify any number from 1-55.

Michel Bergeron employed that rule while he coached the Nordiques as well. Hockey players were supposed to wear traditional numbers he would say (1-30)

Cause whenever Murray tried to pronounce the numbers in the 50's and 60's, He gave the team a shower.

Memo to SuckDat er,ah PuckDat. Does that 'B' on your jersey stand for "Bonehead" or "Brainless"?
