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.

More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
I wasn't naturally gifted in terms of size and speed everything I did in hockey I worked for, and that's the way I'll be as a coach.
Wayne Gretzky
The best players in the game want the responsibility of being the best player. The reality is the game has changed from now back to '87. It's a lot tighter checking. The players are better today. So, that makes it harder for him just in that fact. We can't rely solely on Mario [Lemieux] to carry this team. We're not relying on that.
Wayne Gretzky
Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull and Jean BĂ©liveau probably looked at us in the '80s and said, These guys are soft. We used to take the train.
Wayne Gretzky
You miss every shot you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky
The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I 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
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
I just like to keep my money in the bank I'm not a big risk-taker. I don't know anything about the stock market... I stay away from things I don't know anything about.
Wayne Gretzky
It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL
Wayne Gretzky
I'm probably the only guy in hockey who can win a scoring title and everybody is saying I had a bad year. I don't worry about it.
Wayne Gretzky
Good players skate to the puck. Great players skate to where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.
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 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
The only way a kid is going to practise is if it's total fun for him... and it was for me.
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'm very proud of our NHL players. I think they all handle themselves extremely well and they all work really hard.
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
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.
Wayne Gretzky
I love everything about hockey.
