More quotes by Wayne Gretzky

I wasn't a great skater and I needed my skates to be perfect - really tight around the ankles. But I couldn't break in new ones because my feet would hurt so much. I wore a size 9 shoe and a 6.5 skate - my foot was really crunched.
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
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
I'm probably the only guy in hockey who can win a scoring title and everybody is saying I had a bad year. I don't worry about it.
Wayne Gretzky
It's easier to lose than to win.
Wayne Gretzky
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

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.
