More quotes by 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
As a player, you have one responsibility, to focus yourself and be ready for the game. As a coach, your responsibility is to get 20 guys ready and have them all on the same page. If you can't get every guy ready every night, you're going to struggle.
Wayne Gretzky
I think the Americans are ready to play, they want to beat us. I think that players like Chris Chelios and his leadership over there goes a long way.
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
You miss the ball you do not hit 100%
Wayne Gretzky
Your friends, family, and kids have to understand that's your priority. It's the only way you can be successful.

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

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
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
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
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
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 can remember hockey. It was my life, my passion. It's what I love the most.
Wayne Gretzky
My kids are no different than anyone else's - they tend to disagree with everything I say!
Wayne Gretzky
Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.
Wayne Gretzky
Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.
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
We're in a tough situation because of teenage children, and then we have a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old, so my family and my responsibilities is sort of a juggle.
Wayne Gretzky
We feel fortunate [with Canada hockey team]. We have got a lot of guys who love to play, but they also love to win even more. We are pretty happy. Although we are young, we like our group of players.
