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. - 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
And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive. - Wayne Gretzky
I get a feeling about where a teammate is going to be. A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking. - Wayne Gretzky
I get a lot of parents coming up to me, telling me they are grooming their kids to be professional athletes. I'm really against that. I think it's a great life, and yeah, you can lead them in that direction. I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn't make it, they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids. - 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
I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game. - Wayne Gretzky
