More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
When you're playing an exhibition, you're kind of letting everyone get an opportunity.
Wayne Gretzky
When I played in a 21-team league, there were six or seven goalies who were just average, and the equipment and pads were smaller. I came in the right era. I played for the right team. It was all speed, and creativity and imagination.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss every shot you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
I can't remember the last time I went to a game and there was a fight. I think they fight more in baseball now than they do in hockey.
Wayne Gretzky
I couldn't beat people with my strength I don't have a hard shot I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.
Wayne Gretzky

In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.
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.
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
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
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
The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss the ball you do not hit 100%
Wayne Gretzky
That's the hardest part of this whole process. The best part is picking the players and the worst part is telling basically five players they are not going to play tonight.
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.
