QUOTES BY Wayne Gretzky

Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.

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.

He brings something special. I don't know what it is, but if you ask him, you couldn't understand his answer.

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.

You miss the ball you do not hit 100%

It's just amazing how many companies suddenly want you to hold up their products after you've held up the Stanley Cup.

I love everything about hockey.

The only shot I ALWAYS miss, is the one I don't take!

At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.

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 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.
