You miss every shot you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
When emotions are high, things are said, things are done. Ultimately, these players want to play. I know too many of them love the game too much.
Wayne Gretzky
When you're playing an exhibition, you're kind of letting everyone get an opportunity.
Wayne Gretzky
The greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.
Wayne Gretzky
I heard people say, 'Why would he want to do this?' My answer is 'Why not?' It is what I love. It's what I know.

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
What you want to do with your best players is, it doesn't matter how many goals and assists they get, but when they get goals and assists. The best players get them at the most important times, and that's when we need those guys to come through.
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
I love everything about hockey.
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
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
Your friends, family, and kids have to understand that's your priority. It's the only way you can be successful.
Wayne Gretzky
You'll never catch me bragging about goals, but I'll talk all you want about my assists.
