Wayne Gretzky
As a player, you have one responsibility, to focus yourself and be ready for the game. As a coach, your responsibility is to get 20 guys ready and have them all on the same page. If you can't get every guy ready every night, you're going to struggle.

Wayne Gretzky
When you're playing an exhibition, you're kind of letting everyone get an opportunity.
Wayne Gretzky
Eight days ago, we were the toast of the town. Eight days later we're Thanksgiving turkeys.
Wayne Gretzky
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.
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
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
I love everything about hockey.
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
We played in an era where you were taught to hate your opponent. But life changes. I raise my kids differently than my mom and dad raised their kids.
Wayne Gretzky
It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
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
