An Amazing Wayne Gretzky Story is Breaking The Headlines
Wayne Gretzky's exceptional character as a superstar transcends his on-ice success.
Known for his humility and kindness, he has been a remarkable ambassador for hockey.
Countless heartwarming stories highlight his genuine interactions with fans, teammates, and those in need.
Despite being the greatest player of all time, Gretzky's off-ice conduct is equally impressive. One memorable moment involved Brian Burke and his son Patrick.
»I'm out on the ice with Patrick, no lights on, dim building. Out on the ice comes Wayne Gretzky,» Burke said in a Sportsnet's Youtube video.
Gretzky graciously skated with Patrick, leaving a lasting impression. His extraordinary qualities make him an extraordinary human being, leaving an indelible mark both on and off the ice.
»He comes over and goes, 'Hey Mr. Burke.' I'm like, 'Hey Wayne, how are you?' And he says, 'Patrick, here! Let's pass the puck.' My kid is five years old, skating around the ice with Wayne Gretzky.
»So I got off the ice. I don't belong on the ice with Wayne Gretzky. So I went and sat on the bench and he skated around with Patrick for five minutes, and then Messier comes out. Glenn Anderson comes out. They're all coming out. I said to Patrick, 'Come on off the ice,' But that's Wayne. I'm sure he doesn't remember it, he probably did it for a thousand kids like that. But my son will never forget that.»
