More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
It's easier to lose than to win.
Wayne Gretzky
I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
My best friend had a hockey scholarship at Ohio State, so I would get a couple of pairs at the beginning of the season and send them down to him. They practised two hours a day. He'd skate in them for three weeks then ship them back.
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
Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.
Wayne Gretzky
Thankfully, in my youth I had the best financial advisor a son could ask for: my dad Walter. When I got that first signing bonus in 1978, Dad took my cheque, announced, 'This is what we're going to do,' and bought an annuity with it.
Wayne Gretzky
You'll never catch me bragging about goals, but I'll talk all you want about my assists.
Wayne Gretzky
I can't remember the last time I went to a game and there was a fight. I think they fight more in baseball now than they do in hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss the ball you do not hit 100%
Wayne Gretzky
Sometimes people ask, 'Are hockey fights real?' I say, 'If they weren't, I'd get in more of them.
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
You miss every shot you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
Most players go where the puck is. I go where the puck will be.
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
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
The best players in the game want the responsibility of being the best player. The reality is the game has changed from now back to '87. It's a lot tighter checking. The players are better today. So, that makes it harder for him just in that fact. We can't rely solely on Mario [Lemieux] to carry this team. We're not relying on that.
Wayne Gretzky
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.
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
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
It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL
