It is quite rare that you will see forwards wearing numbers 1-8 or defenseman who wear numbers 9-28. Goalies traditionally wear the number 1 or numbers in the 30's, but there are exceptions, as it is not a written rule. In minor hockey and junior hockey teams players are restricted to only a few jersey numbers, usually 1-31. Most defensemen are restricted to numbers 2-8, while the forwards can choose from number 9-29. The numbers 1, 30, and 31 are usually reserved for goaltenders. It's not related to their positions as it is in football. Players can wear any number from 1-98 nowadays.
Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals currently wears number 8. Cam Neely, who played for the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins mainly in his career, wore number 8 in Boston and has had it retired.
