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.
Wayne Gretzky

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
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
Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it
Wayne Gretzky

Wayne Gretzky
Everything I did in hockey, I worked for.
