Wayne Gretzky Biography

The Great One, or Wayne Gretzky, is widely regarded as the greatest hockey player to ever play. Gretzky has stayed close to the sport he loves after a successful career on the ice. From 2005 to 2009, he served as the Phoenix Coyotes' head coach and executive vice president. More recently, he was chosen as the vice chairman of the Edmonton Oilers in 2016 and the representative of the NHL's centennial celebration in 2017. After dominating the National Hockey League for 20 seasons—more than any player in league history—Gretzky announced his retirement from playing on April 16, 1999. During his illustrious career, Gretzky contributed to the victories in three competitions for the Canada Cup and four Stanley Cups. He became the NHL's all-time leading driving objective assist and point producer for both regular season and postseason games. As the NHL's leading scorer, Gretzky earned 10 Art Ross Trophies, nine Hart Trophies, two Conn Smythe Trophies, and nine Hart Trophies as the league's MVP. As the most deserving player in the NHL, he won five Lady Byng Trophies. He also participated in 18 consecutive All-Star Games, winning three All-Star MVP Awards. Gretzky has appeared on the First All-Star Team eight times and the Second All-Star Team seven times. He virtually owns every negative record in the NHL, and his passionate support of the game has greatly influenced its current level of popularity.
