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.

It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
My kids are no different than anyone else's - they tend to disagree with everything I say!
Wayne Gretzky
Image
That's the hardest part of this whole process. The best part is picking the players and the worst part is telling basically five players they are not going to play tonight.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
I couldn't beat people with my strength I don't have a hard shot I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.

You miss the ball you do not hit 100%
Wayne Gretzky
Image
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.

Good players skate to the puck. Great players skate to where the puck is going to be.

At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
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
Image
By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I'm still healthy.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

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
Image
Maybe it wasn't the talent the Lord gave me-maybe it was the passion.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
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.

One hundred percent of shots not taken don't go in.
