More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
I love everything about hockey.
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
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
What you want to do with your best players is, it doesn't matter how many goals and assists they get, but when they get goals and assists. The best players get them at the most important times, and that's when we need those guys to come through.
Wayne Gretzky
When I broke into professional hockey at 17 I was told that I was too small and too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL. Now it's kind of flip-flopped and the sense is I can't be a good coach because I was a great athlete.
Wayne Gretzky
Everything I did in hockey, I worked for.
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.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
Eight days ago, we were the toast of the town. Eight days later we're Thanksgiving turkeys.
Wayne Gretzky
When emotions are high, things are said, things are done. Ultimately, these players want to play. I know too many of them love the game too much.
Wayne Gretzky
I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it's a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you're in the NHL.
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 greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss every shot you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
If I had to pick three players to start a franchise, I'd choose Hasek, Peter Forsberg and Eric Lindros.
Wayne Gretzky
It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.
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
Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.
Wayne Gretzky
The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!
Wayne Gretzky
People in general want to build somebody up and then try to knock them down. They always root for the underdog.
