More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
It really doesn't matter or concern me what people are saying or who thinks who is the favorite. The bottom line is you have to play.
Wayne Gretzky
Your friends, family, and kids have to understand that's your priority. It's the only way you can be successful.
Wayne Gretzky
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
Wayne Gretzky
Kids don't fight in minor hockey anymore. There's very few fights in junior and college hockey. So growing up, all these guys are not fighting.
Wayne Gretzky
Nothing can replace the Olympics. I love the Olympics. I was so proud when I played in '98 and I was so proud when we won in 2002.
Wayne Gretzky
Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.
Wayne Gretzky
One of the key qualities that you need to be a great hockey player is fantastic anticipation and feel for the game - if you know where the puck is going before it is hit, that is half the battle.

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.

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.

Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.
Wayne Gretzky
I wasn't a great skater and I needed my skates to be perfect - really tight around the ankles. But I couldn't break in new ones because my feet would hurt so much. I wore a size 9 shoe and a 6.5 skate - my foot was really crunched.
Wayne Gretzky
I grew up such a fan. It was my life. Everything I did was hockey related and everything I have is because of hockey and the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
I can remember hockey. It was my life, my passion. It's what I love the most.
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
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
I think the Americans are ready to play, they want to beat us. I think that players like Chris Chelios and his leadership over there goes a long way.
Wayne Gretzky
I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.
Wayne Gretzky
Most players go where the puck is. I go where the puck will be.
Wayne Gretzky
It's easier to lose than to win.
Wayne Gretzky
Most people marry their mother. I married my father.
