NickNickNick Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Here's one I didn't know until I read it in Little Book of Hockey Jerseys Part Deux.Robbie Ftorek and Claude LaRose both wore #8 at the same time for the Cincinnati Stingers in 1977-78. LaRose was the team's leading scorer, and Ftorek was the WHA MVP the season prior to be acquired by the Stingers. The club petitioned the league, and the WHA allowed both numbers to be worn at the same time.Good luck finding pics of these two on the ice at the same time.Some more proof:Stingers Number History Spoiler New York Rangers.

spyboy1 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That is just nuts. And so "WHA" too. What a crazy thing to do.WHAUniforms.com shows they at least wore names on the back that year.
