The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!

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.

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
I miss all the shots I don't take.
Wayne Gretzky

Wayne Gretzky
Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it
Wayne Gretzky
Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.
Wayne Gretzky
Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!
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
Good players skate to the puck. Great players skate to where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.
Wayne Gretzky
I really wanted to write a book [99: Stories of the Game] on the tradition and history of the league, where kids can pick it up and read it and learn things and say, Geez, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool.
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.
