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.

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.

I don’t think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.

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.

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.

I love everything about hockey.

I think sports for kids is the greatest thing in the world because it teaches you how to share, about winning and losing and pressure. But I don’t think you should force your kid to become a professional athlete.

I’m probably the only guy in hockey who can win a scoring title and everybody is saying I had a bad year. I don’t worry about it.

It really doesn’t matter or concern me what people are saying or who thinks who is the favorite. The bottom line is you have to play.

It’s easier to lose than to win.
