Unfortunately The Vladinator 's career here was cut way too short by the accident to accomplish a whole lot over a length of time . He was my favorite player . I'm not sure about NHL rules in regards to individual team , the NHL did retire Wayne [[the whiner) Gretzky's #99 from all NHL teams . The Toronto Maple Leafs have a whole lot of jersey's hanging from their rafters , some with the same number/different names , but they don't retire jerseys , they honor former players . I think it would be a great idea if we build a new rink , to do something similar to what they do in Toronto , in addition to the current handful of pnes hanging up there right now who's numbers have been retired . I'm thinking maybe Lids will be up there next some day .
