More quotes by Wayne Gretzky

I have recall. I don't know why or how. I had a guy once who said he played against me in novice [league, for kids under nine], for the Detroit Lasers. And I said, Oh yeah, we beat you in the tournament, 8-1 and I think I scored seven goals, and the goalie was left-handed. And he was, Oh my God. I was the goalie! .

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 heard people say, 'Why would he want to do this?' My answer is 'Why not?' It is what I love. It's what I know.
Wayne Gretzky
My answer is, why not? ... It's what I love, it's what I know. Glen Sather was the best coach that I had and what made him good was his confidence in what he did. I believe that I'm going to be a good coach.
Wayne Gretzky
I wasn't naturally gifted in terms of size and speed everything I did in hockey I worked for, and that's the way I'll be as a coach.
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

Wayne Gretzky
I miss all the shots I don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
