Thankfully, in my youth I had the best financial advisor a son could ask for: my dad Walter. When I got that first signing bonus in 1978, Dad took my cheque, announced, 'This is what we're going to do,' and bought an annuity with it.
Wayne Gretzky
It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn't make it [achieve something], they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.
Wayne Gretzky
He brings something special. I don't know what it is, but if you ask him, you couldn't understand his answer.
