More quotes by Wayne Gretzky

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
In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.
Wayne Gretzky
I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.
Wayne Gretzky
I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.
Wayne Gretzky

Wayne Gretzky
The last year I was playing, I asked the stick boy to get me a Diet Coke and he said, Really? But I always had one on the bench because that's what I did in 1979 when there wasn't Gatorade. If you needed energy you went and got a Snickers or a Kit Kat. Nobody knew any better.
Wayne Gretzky
I can remember hockey. It was my life, my passion. It's what I love the most.
Wayne Gretzky
When I was 5 and playing against 11-year-olds, who were bigger, stronger, faster, I just had to figure out a way to play with them.
