Nicolas Roy's number

I thought Nicolas Roy was going to wear 55 with the Leafs, but somebody changed his number to 10 (which he wore with the Golden Knights). Number 10 is retired by the Leafs in honor of George Armstrong and Syl Apps. Can someone confirm if this is official? 2607:FEA8:60DB:A690:38D0:E7D1:D0B0:C05A (talk) 05:40, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Roy is 55, see https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/player/nicolas-roy-8478462. I have corrected it. Good catch— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 06:22, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They are also showing Benning as 55, I don't know why. https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/roster — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 06:29, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is Roy's number then? There's too many conflicting sources of information. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:28, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
