For the past two seasons, Zach Hyman and Connor McDavid have played on the same line and have developed chemistry as teammates, resulting in numerous hockey victories.
After spending six years with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he played alongside Austin Matthews and Mitch Marner, Hyman decided to test free agency and was signed by the Oilers for $5.5 million per year over seven years.
During a recent interview, Connor McDavid was asked if he understood the significance behind Hyman's jersey number, which is number 18.
Hyman, who is a member of the Jewish community from Toronto, Ontario, chose the number 18 because it has gematria, which in Hebrew means the word "life." The number also represents good luck, as stated by a reporter from the Jewish community.
As Hyman continues to embark on new ventures with bubble gum NFTs and further develop his hockey career, Oilers management and ownership will be pleased to know that their return on investment for Hyman has been fantastic.
