What is the story, if any, behind #66 for Thief River Falls?
In terms of what ?

Kids have been wearing that number at TRF for decades. Just another number. Not quite sure I understand why it wouldn't be.
Traditionally a high school hockey roster would included numbers 1-35. In more recent years it is more common to have a 1-50 range to include both V and JV. The number 66 would an anomaly (very uncommon) and not just another number in the Minnesota High School Hockey scene. Understanding this, the OP's question makes sense, especially given the long history and tradition of the TRF program.zamboniexhaustinhaler wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 7:07 pmKids have been wearing that number at TRF for decades.

Correct, as I said it's just another number. No significance at all. As to what numbers traditionally belong on a hs roster, I would bet 99.9% of the people in NW Minnesota have never heard of that; hence the insignificance of the number.Goose21 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 25, 2019 10:27 amTraditionally a high school hockey roster would included numbers 1-35.

I asked a few TRF parents about it a few years ago and they didn't know of any significance. Maybe there is a story to it or maybe it is just a number that is just kept on every new jersey order because it was on the last one.
Nah, like I said, kids have worn it for many years.TheNightman wrote: ↑Mon Feb 25, 2019 10:41 am Brendan Bushy wore it for them so I assumed there was some significance.
