I love everything about hockey.
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
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
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
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
I'm very proud of our NHL players. I think they all handle themselves extremely well and they all work really hard.

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.

Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.
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
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
I couldn't beat people with my strength I don't have a hard shot I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.
Wayne Gretzky
Canadian players have started to put more of an importance on the World Championships in the sense that as soon as they lose, they are called, they want to go play and they don't go only on the basis of if they are injured.
Wayne Gretzky
Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.
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
When you're playing an exhibition, you're kind of letting everyone get an opportunity.
Wayne Gretzky
Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it
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 think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.
Wayne Gretzky
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
