Corey Perry Leaks Hawks Plans By Mistake

Intriguingly, even with the number available, the Blackhawks denied Perry the chance to continue this tradition.

This leaves fans speculating: Why wasn't Perry allowed the number 10?

This isn't a sign of diminishing respect or recognition for Perry. His remarkable career has undoubtedly cemented his place and legacy in the hockey world.

Instead, Perry chose to wear number 94, the same he had with the Montreal Canadiens.

The Chicago Blackhawks, one of the NHL's original six, have retired a mere six numbers in their franchise.

But here's an idea: it's probable we'll see it elevated to the rafters soon.

The name that resonates most with the number 10 is Patrick Sharp. As a pivotal figure from 2006 to 2018, Sharp showcased his skills in 749 games, netting 249 goals and a total of 532 points.

His standout performances during the playoffs were key to the Blackhawks clinching three Stanley Cup titles. While it's still awaiting official confirmation, all signs suggest the potential unveiling of a jersey retirement ceremony in a near future.

Let's not forget that Sharp is still a member of the Blackhawks, as he joined the organization as Special Advisor to Hockey Operations.

Do you think Sharp's number will be retired?
