The Great One's sketchy diet with the Edmonton Oilers
It is undeniable that Wayne Gretzky is a legendary figure, having led the Edmonton Oilers to four Stanley Cup victories.
His impressive accomplishments were aided by his pre-game meal choices, which were quite interesting during the 1980s.
The Great One also said he'd often stuff down a few chocolate bars in the intermissions for some energy 🍫
«We didn't have all the fancy power bars and nutrition information back then, so I worked with what we had.
Seeing the dietary changes from then to now is pretty remarkable» (Wayne Gretzky, 2022)
Hotdogs have powered the NHL's all-time great as well as the league's Iron Man.
Nowadays, sports nutrition has become a scientific field where players' skills are refined and teams offer impressive food options. Numerous YouTube videos showcase the latter.
Despite this, Gretzky's pre-game meal was quite unusual, consisting of a Diet Coke, a hot dog with mustard and onions, a pie, and chocolate bars during intermissions to maintain his energy levels. The world of sports has undergone remarkable changes over time.
