More quotes by 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 don't think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.
Wayne Gretzky
There's no perfect coach in the world. Coaches are human, too. Mistakes are made. But, fundamentally, if you're sound, you eliminate as many mistakes as possible.
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
It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!
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
I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.
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
Competitive spirit is still at a premium. The more you win, the better you play, the more money you make, so they all have that in mind.
Wayne Gretzky
We're in a tough situation because of teenage children, and then we have a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old, so my family and my responsibilities is sort of a juggle.
Wayne Gretzky
My kids are no different than anyone else's - they tend to disagree with everything I say!
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
You'll never catch me bragging about goals, but I'll talk all you want about my assists.
Wayne Gretzky
We feel fortunate [with Canada hockey team]. We have got a lot of guys who love to play, but they also love to win even more. We are pretty happy. Although we are young, we like our group of players.
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
Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.
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 have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it's a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you're in the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
I think the greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.
