My answer is, why not? ... It's what I love, it's what I know. Glen Sather was the best coach that I had and what made him good was his confidence in what he did. I believe that I'm going to be a good coach.

Wayne Gretzky
When people come up to me and say, I was at your Game 7 in the playoffs in Toronto, or, I saw your first goal in the NHL, that triggers memories. But I don't sit around my kitchen table and tell my kids, You know, one year I got 92 goals.

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
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
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
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.
Wayne Gretzky
I love everything about hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I'm still healthy.
Wayne Gretzky
My best friend had a hockey scholarship at Ohio State, so I would get a couple of pairs at the beginning of the season and send them down to him. They practised two hours a day. He'd skate in them for three weeks then ship them back.
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.
