More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
I grew up such a fan. It was my life. Everything I did was hockey related and everything I have is because of hockey and the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
I have recall. I don't know why or how. I had a guy once who said he played against me in novice [league, for kids under nine], for the Detroit Lasers. And I said, Oh yeah, we beat you in the tournament, 8-1 and I think I scored seven goals, and the goalie was left-handed. And he was, Oh my God. I was the goalie! .
Wayne Gretzky
Most players go where the puck is. I go where the puck will be.
Wayne Gretzky
The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!

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
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.

I love everything about hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
I think the greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.
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
One hundred percent of shots not taken don't go in.
Wayne Gretzky
Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.
Wayne Gretzky
I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else.
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.
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
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.
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
The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
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.
