Wayne Gretzky, widely regarded as the greatest hockey player of all time, is a legendary athlete, beloved sportscaster, and successful entrepreneur. Known as “The Great One,” he dominated the sport for two decades, earning four Stanley Cup Championships, three Canada Cup tournament titles, and numerous personal accolades. His extraordinary contributions to hockey led the NHL to retire his jersey number, ensuring that “No. 99” will never be worn by another player. Beyond his playing career, Gretzky took on leadership roles as Head Coach and Executive Vice President of the Phoenix Coyotes and later served as Vice Chairman of the Edmonton Oilers from 2016 to 2021. He also played a key role in guiding Team Canada to Olympic gold. Holding virtually every offensive record in NHL history, his influence on the game has helped elevate its popularity. His insights into developing an athlete’s mindset and playing to one’s strengths continue to inspire audiences across different fields.
In addition to his sports legacy, Gretzky is the lead studio analyst for TNT’s hockey broadcasts and the author of 99: Stories of the Game, an Amazon Editor’s Pick for Best Biographies & Memoirs. As a serial entrepreneur, he has launched ventures including a restaurant, a winery, an apparel line called Greatness Wins, and a major partnership with eBay as the featured athlete in their first collection of NFTs. He also shares his expertise through a MasterClass on the athlete’s mindset, encouraging people to pursue excellence in their own lives. A dedicated philanthropist, Gretzky founded The Wayne Gretzky Foundation and serves as the Honorary Chairman of Ronald McDonald Children’s Charities in Canada. He is also an Athlete Ambassador and Honorary Member of the Board of Trustees for Right to Play, a humanitarian organization driven by athletes, and has participated in “Hands That Shape Humanity,” a project for the Desmond Tutu Peace Centre. Through his achievements on and off the ice, Gretzky’s legacy continues to inspire generations.
