More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.
Wayne Gretzky
One of the key qualities that you need to be a great hockey player is fantastic anticipation and feel for the game - if you know where the puck is going before it is hit, that is half the battle.
Wayne Gretzky
Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.
Wayne Gretzky
The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
One hundred percent of shots not taken don't go in.
Wayne Gretzky
Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.
Wayne Gretzky
Lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time. There's nothing like it. It's the greatest story. In my era, they used to say you couldn't be a superstar without winning one. I remember thinking when I lifted it: Now they can't say that about me.
Wayne Gretzky
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.
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.
Wayne Gretzky
By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I'm still healthy.
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
I can't remember the last time I went to a game and there was a fight. I think they fight more in baseball now than they do in hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!
Wayne Gretzky
He brings something special. I don't know what it is, but if you ask him, you couldn't understand his answer.
Wayne Gretzky
Listen, everything I have in my life is because of the NHL and because of hockey, and I love the game and I loved every minute of being a player, I loved coaching, I loved being involved in the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.
Wayne Gretzky
Most players go where the puck is. I go where the puck will be.
Wayne Gretzky
In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.
Wayne Gretzky
If I had to pick three players to start a franchise, I'd choose Hasek, Peter Forsberg and Eric Lindros.
Wayne Gretzky
You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.
