He did wear #27 for 3 or 4 exhibition games and was pictured once with that number. No always number 4. He might have worn 30 before the Bruins and then when he got called up to play for them the number might have been taken already. I have him in a picture and a Boston sweater #30 so what was that about?
Wayne Cashman wore number 12 for the Boston Bruins.
17 No Derek Sanderson wore number 16 for the Boston Bruins, 17 was worn by Fred Stanfield.
In the 1920s, Charles Adams held a city-wide contest to name his new Boston hockey team. Because the colors of his Brookside Department Stores were brown and yellow, he insisted that the team wear those same colors. He also wanted the team to be named after an animal known for its strength, agility, ferocity, and cunning. The public contest came up with the Bruins, meaning a large, ferocious bear.
number 4
Bourque himself says on the "History of the Boston Bruins" DVD that he wore #29 all throughout camp and the preseason and that #7 was hanging in his locker opening night. Leading one to believe that he only wore #7 and #77 throughout his career with the Bruins and Avalanche.AnswerRay Bourque wore the numbers 7 and 77. I don't believe that he ever wore another number other than those two. AnswerIt was 14...Number 7 was worm by a veteran of the AHL's Bruins development franchise. When he was cut at the end of the camp, Bourque took his number 7.

Brad Park wore number 22 for the Boston Bruins, he wore number 2 for the New York Rangers before he was traded to Boston for Phil Esposito however that number was retired by Boston after hall of famer Eddie Shore retired hence his wearing of number 22.
Wear it if you want to change feel the hockey karma, keep it sealed if you're a capitalist eBayer.
16 and 17. He wore 16 prior to his stint in the WHA. Upon his return to the NHL he wore number 17.

That distinction goes to George Owen, Boston Bruins defenseman. He had played football while in college and when he entered the NHL in 1928 he wore the same leather helmet that he had worn in college when playing football.
