More quotes by Wayne Gretzky
I miss all the shots 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
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
No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.
Wayne Gretzky
I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else.
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
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
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.
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
Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.
Wayne Gretzky
I missed 100% of the shots I didn't take
Wayne Gretzky
I have recall. I don't know why or how. I had a guy once who said he played against me in novice [league, for kids under nine], for the Detroit Lasers. 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
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
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
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
A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking.
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
Most people marry their mother. I married my father.
Wayne Gretzky
Hullie's a lot like a garbage can. You step on the pedal with your foot and the top opens up.
Wayne Gretzky
Canadian players have started to put more of an importance on the World Championships in the sense that as soon as they lose, they are called, they want to go play and they don't go only on the basis of if they are injured.
