    – 2012: Petteri Nokelainen
    – 2014: George Parros
    – 2015: PA Parenteau
    – 2016: Tomas Fleischmann
    – 2017: Chris Terry

    Just saw Parenteau fall to his knees in a Bellepro

  4. Showing my age when my first thought is Reggie Houle…

  5. The full list [here](https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/MTL/numbers.html).

    Fun fact: the first to wear #15: The Rocket.

    When I was collecting hockey cards as a kid, #15 is Bobby Rousseau’s number. Then it was Claude Larose. In fact, they traded Bobby Rousseau for Claude Larose, so #15 went from one guy to his trade replacement. I wonder if that was a first?
