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
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.

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.

It really doesn't matter or concern me what people are saying or who thinks who is the favorite. The bottom line is you have to play.
Wayne Gretzky

It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.
