More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
The only way a kid is going to practise is if it's total fun for him... and it was for me.
Wayne Gretzky
I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.
Wayne Gretzky
The greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.
Wayne Gretzky
If I had to pick three players to start a franchise, I'd choose Hasek, Peter Forsberg and Eric Lindros.

Wayne Gretzky
Competitive spirit is still at a premium. The more you win, the better you play, the more money you make, so they all have that in mind.
Wayne Gretzky
When people come up to me and say, I was at your Game 7 in the playoffs in Toronto, or, I saw your first goal in the NHL, that triggers memories. But I don't sit around my kitchen table and tell my kids, You know, one year I got 92 goals.
Wayne Gretzky
In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.
Wayne Gretzky
No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.
Wayne Gretzky
When emotions are high, things are said, things are done. Ultimately, these players want to play. I know too many of them love the game too much.
Wayne Gretzky
It's just amazing how many companies suddenly want you to hold up their products after you've held up the Stanley Cup.
Wayne Gretzky
I just like to keep my money in the bank I'm not a big risk-taker. I don't know anything about the stock market... I stay away from things I don't know anything about.
Wayne Gretzky
Nothing can replace the Olympics. I love the Olympics. I was so proud when I played in '98 and I was so proud when we won in 2002.
Wayne Gretzky
I wasn't a great skater and I needed my skates to be perfect - really tight around the ankles. But I couldn't break in new ones because my feet would hurt so much. I wore a size 9 shoe and a 6.5 skate - my foot was really crunched.
