Honoured+Numbers

toc =Retired Numbers:= The Leafs have a policy of retiring numbers only for players "who have made a significant contribution to the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club and have experienced a career-ending incident while a member of the Maple Leaf team". Barilko (whose career ended with death in a plane crash) and Bailey (whose career ended with a severe head injury) met the criteria. These two numbers were not officially retired until October 17, 1992. Ron Ellis received permission from Bailey, by the time of his career the Leafs' Director of Scouting, to wear number 6.


 * ~ Number ||~ Player ||~ Date ||~ Years with Toronto ||
 * **5** || [|Bill Barilko] || October 17, 1992 || 1947–1951 ||
 * **6** || [|Ace Bailey] || October 17, 1992 || 1926–1933 ||
 * **99** || [|Wayne Gretzky] || February 6, 2000 || //Retired by NHL// ||

=Honoured Numbers:= In 1993, the Leafs began a policy of honouring their greatest players by declaring their number an "Honoured Number" rather than retirement. MLSE CEO Richard Peddie formed a committee in 2005 to study the issue and announced the decision to continue with the honoured number program late that year, citing a desire to allow current players to build upon the legacy of those numbers.
