Leafs Unveil Jersey Numbers for Nicolas Roy, 2 Other New Additions to the NHL Squad

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been among the busiest teams this offseason, already making several trades and signings to try to reshape the roster.

A trio of notable additions includes Michael Pezzetta (signed via free agency), Matias Maccelli and Nicolas Roy (both acquired via trade).

The Leafs aren't done making moves yet, as rumours continue to swirl about potential changes, including a possible reunion with former fan favourite Nazem Kadri of the Calgary Flames, who would be an ideal fit at 2C.

The newly acquired Leafs revealed their jersey numbers for the upcoming season. As per Lance Hornby on X:

While each number has previously been worn by former Leafs, the trio will look to make the same, if not a bigger impact as the players who donned those numbers before them.

Nicolas Roy chose #55, last worn by Matt Benning (2025), Mark Giordano (2022-24), and Ben Hutton (2021). Roy wore #10 with the Vegas Golden Knights.

Michael Pezzetta stuck with his previous #65, most recently worn by former fan favourite Ilya Mikheyev (2020-22) during his time in Toronto.

The 24-year-old Matias Maccelli also kept his old number from the Utah Mammoth: #63. That number was previously worn by Tyler Ennis (2019) and Dave Bolland (2014).

Interestingly, #63 is also the number made infamous by Brad Marchand, who was rumoured to be a Leafs target this offseason. While he didn't sign in Toronto, the number still found its way into the locker room.

With training camp underway, Roy, Pezzetta, and Maccelli will all be battling for spots in a competitive Leafs lineup, though Roy and Maccelli are more than likely already penciled in.

The team aims to be tougher to play against as they once again search for answers to push deeper into the playoffs.
