More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
Wayne Gretzky
It's really hard. And it's harder today because of the salary cap. It starts in September at training camp - getting every guy on the same page, being as mentally and physically as focused as you can be. Then in April and May, you basically spend eight weeks practising, watching video and playing games. That's your life.
Wayne Gretzky
Hullie's a lot like a garbage can. You step on the pedal with your foot and the top opens up.
Wayne Gretzky
The biggest difference between L.A. and Edmonton was that instead of people looking at me I was looking at them.
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
My kids are no different than anyone else's - they tend to disagree with everything I say!
Wayne Gretzky
Kids don't fight in minor hockey anymore. There's very few fights in junior and college hockey. So growing up, all these guys are not fighting.
Wayne Gretzky
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.
Wayne Gretzky
I can remember hockey. It was my life, my passion. It's what I love the most.
Wayne Gretzky
It really doesn't matter or concern me what people are saying or who thinks who is the favorite. The bottom line is you have to play.
Wayne Gretzky
I think sports for kids is the greatest thing in the world because it teaches you how to share, about winning and losing and pressure. But I don't think you should force your kid to become a professional athlete.
Wayne Gretzky
It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.
Wayne Gretzky
The last year I was playing, I asked the stick boy to get me a Diet Coke and he said, Really? But I always had one on the bench because that's what I did in 1979 when there wasn't Gatorade. If you needed energy you went and got a Snickers or a Kit Kat. Nobody knew any better.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss the ball you do not hit 100%
Wayne Gretzky
That's the hardest part of this whole process. The best part is picking the players and the worst part is telling basically five players they are not going to play tonight.
Wayne Gretzky
I don't think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.
Wayne Gretzky
The 2002 (Olympic) team was a great team, we won the gold medal, they deserved all the accolades that they got. But this team seems to have a little more depth and maybe a little more talent to pick from. So it makes the job of picking the right 23 guys even more difficult.
Wayne Gretzky
I miss all the shots I don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it
Wayne Gretzky
Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!
