Wayne Gretzky

by Justin from Bradford, Ontario, Canada

A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

Wayne Grezky was on skates by the age of 2 and he was a local attraction by the age of 5. He played in lots of teams but his first team was the Edmonton Oilers and he had a hard time when he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings.

Wayne was born on Janurary 26, 1961 in the town of Brantford and he didn't go to college because he played hockey at 17.

His influences were his parents. They had him on skates by the age of 2. He is an awesome hockey player and he played for the Edmonton Oliers.

Wayne shows inclusiveness because he lets everyone on his team play. he is caring because he cares for his fans. He has respect because he respects his teammates and his coaches.

I think Wayne Gretzky is the best hockey player ever and that is why he is my hero.
