Despite playing only one season for the OHL London Knights, three-time Stanley Cup winner Patrick Kane will have his number (88) retired by the Knights on January 17, 2020.
During the 2006-07 season, the 18-year old winger, playing on a line with Sergei Kostitsyn and Sam Gagner, set the OHL on fire, scoring 62 goals and adding 83 assists in 58 games. He still holds the 18th spot for single season OHL points, and is the top American-born player on the list to do so. He was named OHL rookie of the year, proceeded to become the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft and has already assured himself a place in the Hall of Fame.
Kane's 88 will be the ninth number retired by the Knights, joining Hall of Famers Dino Cicarelli, Brendan Shanahan and others in the elite group.
