Wayne Gretzky
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
Wayne Gretzky

Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.
Wayne Gretzky
I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.
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

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
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
