A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

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.

Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it

Lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time. There's nothing like it. It's the greatest story. In my era, they used to say you couldn't be a superstar without winning one. I remember thinking when I lifted it: Now they can't say that about me.

I think sports for kids is the greatest thing in the world because it teaches you how to share, about winning and losing and pressure. But I don't think you should force your kid to become a professional athlete.

Wayne Gretzky
Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.
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
I think the greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.
Wayne Gretzky
It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.
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
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
The last year I was playing, I asked the stick boy to get me a Diet Coke and he said, Really? But I always had one on the bench because that's what I did in 1979 when there wasn't Gatorade. If you needed energy you went and got a Snickers or a Kit Kat. Nobody knew any better.
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.

My kids are no different than anyone else's - they tend to disagree with everything I say!
