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.
Wayne Gretzky
People talk about skating, puck handling and shooting, but the whole sport is angles and caroms, forgetting the straight direction the puck is going, calculating where it will be directed, factoring in all the interruptions. Basically, my whole game is angles.
Wayne Gretzky
Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.
Wayne Gretzky
I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn't make it [achieve something], they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.
Wayne Gretzky
Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull and Jean Béliveau probably looked at us in the '80s and said, These guys are soft. We used to take the train.
Wayne Gretzky
I love everything about hockey.
