Bobby Orr and the number has been retired.
Wayne Cashman wore number 12 for the Boston Bruins.
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?
17 No Derek Sanderson wore number 16 for the Boston Bruins, 17 was worn by Fred Stanfield.
No it was 4 to 3
