This ain't a fact or anything, but I have to share this:

Several years ago we played a boardgame called: "Hockey night game" or something like that, and this question was asked: " Which other player plays with number 99 in the NHL?" - Well, of course we said: " None other than Gretzky", little did we know, the answer was: " Mario Lemieux, if you flip the numbers over." (This game came like 1995 or so)

Just to add something:

Jarmo Kekalainen is the first European GM in the NHL.
Alpo Suhonen is the first European Coach in the NHL.
